## Function result

Ordinal position for the last child node containing the specified node Text, or -1 when not found in the child nodes.

## Description

IndexOfText searches the child nodes in Items to locate a node with the text specified in the NodeText argument. A case-sensitive comparison is performed using the equality operator (=). The child nodes are searched in reverse order, and the return value represent the last node in Items with the specified value. The return value is -1 if a node is not found in Items with the specified value.

IndexOfText is a convenience method; it is not used in the implementation of TTreeNode, TTreeNodes, or TCustomTreeView.
