Remarks
Strings in the first column of a ListView are searched to find the first string which exactly matches the data in sTextToFind.
Comparisons are not case-sensitive.
Strings are searched beginning with the string specified by StartRow, and ending with the last string in the ListView.
Searching does not wrap to the beginning of the list.
The row number is indexed to 1 (1=first, 2=second, etc.).
To search the entire ListView starting with the first string, StartRow should be set to 1.
If no match is found, the value zero is returned.
