CB_GETLBTEXT (Windows CE 5.0)
This message is sent by an application to retrieve a string from the list of a combo box.
CB_GETLBTEXTwParam = (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_GETLBTEXTLEN message 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 index parameter 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 lpszBuffer parameter of the message receives the 32-bit value associated with the item (the item data).
Requirements
OS Versions: Windows CE 1.0 and later.
Header: Winuser.h.
