Members

hdr

NMHDRstructure that contains information on this notification message.

dwFlags

Either zero or LVGIT_UNFOLDED which indicates that the label of the listview item is not truncated or unfolded.

pszText

Address of a string buffer that receives any additional text information. If dwFlagsis zero, this member will contain the existing item text. In this case, you should append any additional text onto the end of this string. The size of this buffer is specified by the cchTextMaxvalue.

cchTextMax

Size, in characters, of the buffer pointed to by pszText. Although you should never assume that this buffer will be of any particular size, the INFOTIPSIZE value can be used for design purposes.

iItem

Zero-based index of the item to which this structure refers.

iSubItem

One-based index of the subitem to which this structure refers. If this member is zero, the structure is referring to the item and not a subitem. This member is not currently used and will always be zero.

lParam

Application-defined value associated with the item. This member is not currently used and will always be zero.
