This method will select the first row where the value of the property parameter equals the value of the key parameter.
This method is supported if SupportsSearching is true, otherwise this method throws a NotSupportedException.
The following code example demonstrates how to implement the Find method.
Public Class MyFontList
Inherits BindingList(Of Font)
Protected Overrides ReadOnly Property SupportsSearchingCore() As Boolean
Get
Return True
End Get
End Property
Protected Overrides Function FindCore(ByVal prop As PropertyDescriptor, _
ByVal key As Object) As Integer
' Ignore the prop value and search by family name.
Dim i As Integer
While i < Count
If Items(i).FontFamily.Name.ToLower() = CStr(key).ToLower() Then
Return i
End If
i += 1
End While
Return -1
End Function
End Class
public class MyFontList : BindingList<Font>
{
protected override bool SupportsSearchingCore
{
get { return true; }
}
protected override int FindCore(PropertyDescriptor prop, object key)
{
// Ignore the prop value and search by family name.
for (int i = 0; i < Count; ++i)
{
if (Items[i].FontFamily.Name.ToLower() == ((string)key).ToLower())
return i;
}
return -1;
}
}
