This message is sent by an application to retrieve a string from a list box.
LB_GETTEXT wParam= (WPARAM) index ; lParam= (LPARAM)(LPCTSTR) lpszBuffer ;
Parameters
- index
- Zero-based index of the string to retrieve.
- lpszBuffer
- long pointer to the buffer to receive the string. The buffer
must have sufficient space for the string and a terminating null
character. An
LB_GETTEXTLENmessage
can be sent before the LB_GETTEXT message to retrieve the length,
in characters, of the string.
Return Values
The length of the string, in characters and excluding the terminating null character, indicates success. LB_ERR indicates that indexdoes not specify a valid index.
Remarks
If you create the list box with an owner-drawn style but without the LBS_HASSTRINGS style, the buffer pointed to by the lpszBufferparameter will receive the 32-bit value associated with the item (the item data).
