- startPosition
- Int32
The zero-based position in the formatted string where the search starts.
- endPosition
- Int32
The zero-based position in the formatted string where the search ends.
- direction
- Boolean
A Boolean indicating the search direction; either true to search forward or false to search backward.
Returns
If successful, an Int32 representing the zero-based position of the first assigned editable position encountered; otherwise InvalidIndex.
Remarks
The formatted string is composed of editable characters and literals copied from the mask. The editable character positions will either be occupied by the prompt character copied from the mask if they are unassigned, or with a valid input character if they have been assigned an input.
The FindAssignedEditPositionInRange method is used to search for the first assigned character between two specified positions, inclusive, using the specified search direction. The result can subsequently be passed as a parameter to the Item[] indexer to obtain the assigned value at this position.
The FindNonEditPositionInRange and FindUnassignedEditPositionInRange methods are complements of this method.
