Alex Yakhnin indroduced a way to search a value in a lisbox faster.

“As you know, the intrinsic controls (ListBox, TextBox, ComboBox etc..) in the .NET Compact Framework are just a wrappers around its native counterparts. It is also known that the managed versions do not expose all available functionality. For example, it is possible to search the items in the ListBox or ComboBox just simply sending a windows messages such as LB_FINDSTRINGEXACT or LB_FINDSTRING. In order to illustrate its usage I’ve created the ListBoxExtender class, that will expose Search methods in the easy to use form.”
