This macro retrieves some or all of a list-view item's attributes. You can use this macro or send the LVM_GETITEM message explicitly.

Syntax 

BOOL ListView_GetItem( 
  HWND 
hwnd, 
  LVITEM FAR* 
pitem 
);

Parameters

hwnd

Handle to the list-view control.

pitem

Pointer to an LVITEMstructure that specifies the information to retrieve and receives information about the list-view item.

When the LVM_GETITEM message is sent, the iItemand iSubItemmembers identify the item or subitem to retrieve information about and the maskmember specifies which attributes to retrieve. For a list of possible values, see the description of the LVITEMstructure.

If the maskmember specifies the LVIF_TEXT value, the pszTextmember must contain the address of the buffer that receives the item text, and the cchTextMaxmember must specify the size of the buffer.

If the maskmember specifies the LVIF_STATE value, the stateMaskmember must specify the item state bits to retrieve. On output, the statemember contains the values of the specified state bits.

Return Value

TRUE indicates success. FALSE indicates failure.
