  int FindString( int nStartAfter, const char FAR* lpString ) const;
 
  Parameter     Description
 
  <nStartAfter> Contains the zero-based index of the item before the first
                item to be searched. When the search reaches the bottom of
                the list box, it continues from the top of the list box
                back to the item specified by <nStartAfter>. If -1, the
                entire list box is searched from the beginning.
 
  <lpString>    Points to the null-terminated string that contains the
                prefix to search for. The search is case-independent, so
                this string may contain any combination of uppercase and
                lowercase letters.
 
  Remarks
 
  Finds, but doesn't select, the first string that contains the specified
  prefix in the list box of a combo box.
 
  Return Value
 
  If the return value is greater than or equal to 0, it is the zero-based
  index of the matching item. It is CB_ERR if the search was
  unsuccessful.
