Search for a string in a list object by using the SearchListObjectFor method.
Example
1. Create a list object.
The client sends:
{
"jsonrpc": "2.0",
"id": 1,
"method": "CreateSessionObject",
"handle": 1,
"params": [
{
"qInfo": {
"qId": "ListObject01",
"qType": "ListObject"
},
"qListObjectDef": {
"qStateName": "$",
"qLibraryId": "",
"qDef": {
"qFieldDefs": [
"Country"
],

{
"qTop": 0,
"qHeight": 14,
"qLeft": 0,
"qWidth": 1
}
],
"qShowAlternatives": true
}
}
]
}
The engine returns:
{
"jsonrpc": "2.0",
"id": 1,
"result": {
"qReturn": {

[
{

"qElemNumber": 12,
"qState": "O",
"qHighlightRanges": {
"qRanges": [
