[Help]Search TextBox[Solved]

Ok basically a textbox is full of names in it:

It says:

Code:

NextGen1

MJLover

Ilovewater

ppl2pass

There is another textbox to type the name you want to search.
For example if i type: MJLover, it will search the whole textbox.text and go and highlight the text.

Ok here's the code, I don't have the time to explain...gtg:

[php]
Dim start
Dim [end]

'replace txtFind with the text you want to find...
Dim word_find as string= txtFind.Text

Here 'r.text' is the textbox you are searching in. Replace it with your textbox...

start = InStr(1, r.Text, word_find, CompareMethod.Text)
[end] = Len(word_find)

Try
Dim finalStr As String = Mid(r.Text, start, [end])

MsgBox("Item Found...")
Catch ex As Exception
MsgBox("Item not Found...")

End Try
[/php]

This will tell you if your item exists or not !!!!!!

End If[/php]
