To search for data in any of the cells of a sheet, use either of these sets of methods in the FpSpread class:

• Search methods
• SearchHeaders methods

The parameters of the various search methods allow you to specify the sheet to search, the string for which to search, and the matching criteria. For a list of qualifications (restrictions) of the search, refer to the set of methods listed above for more details.

Using Code

Use the Search method for the FpSpread component to perform a search.

Example

Use the Search method to perform an exact-match search on the third sheet (Sheet 2) for the word "Total" and return the values of the row index and column index of the found cell.

C#	Copy Code
fpSpread1.Search(2,"Total",true,true,false,false,1,1,56,56,ref rowindx,ref colindx));

VB	Copy Code
FpSpread1.Search(2,"Total",True,True,False,False,1,1,56,56,ref rowindx,ref colindx))
