VB Help

Ok I've been going at this for about an hour now and it's driveing me nuts. So I'll ask here.

I want to be able to search text on a selected listview item and if that text contains .mp3 then do bla bla. So this is what I got so far

If listFiles2.SelectedItems(0).Text = ".mp3" then
Bla bla bla

Now I know this will not work because thats saying that the text in the selected item is .mp3 then do bla bla bla, but what I really want is it to say If selected item text has .mp3 in it then do bla bla bla.

RE: VB Help

Use InStr function:

If InStr(listFile2.SelectedItems(0).Text,".mp3")<>0 Then
blah blah blah
End If

When InStr returns 0, it means listFile2.SelectedItems(0).Text does not contain ".mp3".

I'd recommend using Right$() to get the last 3-4 characters and compare with that.

If it's filenames of course.

RE: VB Help

For playing music, I would recommend using the mciSendString API.

Example:

code:
Private Declare Function mciSendString Lib "winmm.dll" Alias "mciSendStringA" (ByVal lpstrCommand As String, _
Optional ByVal lpstrReturnString As String = 0, _
Optional ByVal uReturnLength As Long = 0, _
Optional ByVal hwndCallback As Long = 0) As Long

Private Sub Form_Load()
mciSendString "open """ & "C:\test.mp3" & """ type MPEGvideo alias PutWhatYouWantHere ", ByVal 0&, 0, ByVal 0&

mciSendString "play PutWhatYouWantHere", ByVal 0&, 0, ByVal 0&
End Sub

Private Sub Form_Unload()
mciSendString "close PutWhatYouWantHere", ByVal 0&, 0, ByVal 0&
End Sub

[/code]Note: All "PutWhatYouWantHere" must be same or, it wont work!
