[Gambas-user] How to search for an item in a treeview

[jbskaggs]

I would have the program movenext thru each item starting at movefirst and
run the instr function on each string for each treeview.item until you get a
hit.

I do this to search for specific key words in text, keys, images in my
treeview.  Im  newbie so this may not work exactly right but this worked for
me.

sample:

dim j as string
dim i as integer
j="yoursearchstring"
yourtreeview.movefirst
for i = 1 to yourtreeview.count
     yourtreeview.item.selected=true
        if instr(yourtreeview.item.text, j)>0
        do your code here
        endif
     yourtreeview.movenext
next
