Overloads Public Function Find( _ ByVal str As String, _ ByVal start As Integer _ ) As Integer

Visual Basic (Usage)	Copy Code
`Dim instance As RichTextBox Dim str As String Dim start As Integer Dim value As Integer value = instance.Find(str, start)`

C#
public int Find( string str, int start )

Parameters

str: The text to locate in the control.
start: The location within the control's text at which to begin searching.

Return Value

The location within the control where the search text was found.

Example

C#	Copy Code
`private void Detail_Format(object sender, System.EventArgs eArgs) { if (this.RichTextBox1.Find("excellent", 15)!= -1) { this.txtAward.Visible=true; } else { this.txtAward.Visible=false; } }`

Visual Basic	Copy Code
`Private Sub Detail_Format(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Detail.Format If Not Me.RichTextBox1.Find("excellent", 15) = -1 Then Me.txtAward.Visible = True Else Me.txtAward.Visible = False End If End Sub`

Remarks

The Find method searches for the text specified in the str parameter and returns the location of the first character within the control. If the property returns a negative value, the text string being searched for was not found within the contents of the control.

Note The Find methods that accept a string as a parameter cannot find text that is contained on more than one line of text within the RichTextBox. Performing such a search will return a value of negative one (-1).
