Q. Find an item in ComboBox? 

I would like to be able to find an item that is already 
added to a ComboBox either by using the item itself to 
search or using itemdata. Does Combobox.Sorted have to 
be True?

I have tried to use SendMessage API function
with "CB_FindString" and "CB_FindStringExact"
parameter, but it doesn`t work.

A. To find an item in a combobox, iterate through the 
control`s List property:
  
MyName = "Bob"
  
For i = 0 to Combo1.ListCount - 1 
  If Combo1.List(i) = MyName Then 
     Exit For 
  End If 
Next
  
A do loop would work as well. No need for  API calls for 
this one, unless the list is inordinately long.
