This message is sent by an application to retrieve a string from the list of a combo box.
CB_GETLBTEXT wParam= (WPARAM) index; lParam= (LPARAM)(LPCSTR) lpszBuffer;
Parameters
- index
- Specifies the zero-based index of the string to retrieve.
- lpszBuffer
- Long pointer to the buffer that receives the string. The buffer
must have sufficient space for the string and a terminating null
character. You can send a
CB_GETLBTEXTLENmessage prior to the CB_GETLBTEXT message to
retrieve the length, in bytes, of the string.
Return Values
The length of the string, in bytes and excluding the terminating null character, indicates success. CB_ERR indicates that the indexparameter does not specify a valid index.
Remarks
If you create the combo box with an owner-drawn style but without the CBS_HASSTRINGS style, the buffer pointed to by the lpszBufferparameter of the message receives the 32-bit value associated with the item (the item data).
