| Has anybody implemented a filter with wildcard capabilities? If i had a name list and wanted to find every name that starts with an 'S' and ends in 'I', i would type S*I should find everybody. Any ideas? - David | ||

   Using current implementation of function CXTPReportRecordItem* CXTPReportRecords::FindRecordItem(int nStartRecord, int nEndRecord, 
int nStartColumn, int nEndColumn, int nRecord, int nItem, LPCTSTR pcszText, int nFlags)
 you can sequentially find all items with caption stating with your BeginningPattern (e.g. "S") using nFlags = 0 or nFlags = xtpReportTextSearchBackward for backward search direction.  Mark a while-found-loop by initial search postion (nStartRecord, nEndRecord, nStartColumn, nEndColumn...)  and anaylyze result by your EndingPattern (e.g "I") 
// nStartRecord - Starting record index.
// nEndRecord - End record index.
// nStartColumn - Starting column index.
// nEndColumn - End column index.
// nRecord - Record index to start search from.
// nItem - Record item index to start search from.
