FR_MATCHCASE. If set, the search operation is case-sensitive. If not set, the search operation is case-insensitive.

Return value

If the target string is found, the return value is the zero-based position of the first character of the match. If the target is not found, the return value is -1.

Remarks

FindTextEx uses the FINDTEXTEXW structure, while FindText uses the FINDTEXTW structure. The difference is that EM_FINDTEXTEXW reports the range of text that was found.
