Returns the position of a string (or one that differs only in case) in the list.

Pascal
function IndexOfIgnoreCase(const S: WideString): Integer;
C++
__fastcall int IndexOfIgnoreCase(const BSTR S);
Description

Call IndexOfIgnoreCase to obtain the position of the first occurrence of the string S, or of a string that differs from S only by case. IndexOfIgnoreCase returns the 0-based index of the string. Thus, if S matches the first string in the list, IndexOfIgnoreCase returns 0, if S is the second string, IndexOfIgnoreCase returns 1, and so on. If the string is not in the string list, IndexOfIgnoreCase returns -1. 

IndexOfIgnoreCase uses a case-insensitive search. To locate a string case-sensitively, use the IndexOf method instead.

Note: If the string appears in the list more than once, IndexOfIgnoreCase returns the position of the first occurrence.
