Finding Items : Combo « SWT « Java Tutorial






Search a combo's list from the given index until an item is found. If no such item is found, -1 is returned.

public int indexOf(String text, int startIndex)

The indexOf method starts the search from 0:

public int indexOf(String text)

which is equivalent to

indexOf(text, 0);
