When passed a string this method can be used to return the index number associated with the matching tag.If there is no tag associated with an entry its value will be checked instead. The Add()) method supports adding strings with or without tags. For example:

 Ind = .EditControl1.GetIndex(item$)

The method will return -1 if passed a string that did not exist in the list.

 IF (.EditControl1.GetIndex(Position) = -1)
