CComboBox::GetLBText

Gets a string from the list box of a combo box.

int GetLBText(
   int nIndex,
   LPTSTR lpszText 
) const;
void GetLBText(
   int nIndex,
   CString& rString 
) const;

Parameters

  • nIndex
    Contains the zero-based index of the list-box string to be copied.

  • lpszText
    Points to a buffer that is to receive the string. The buffer must have sufficient space for the string and a terminating null character.

  • rString
    A reference to a CString.

Return Value

The length (in bytes) of the string, excluding the terminating null character. If nIndex does not specify a valid index, the return value is CB_ERR.

Remarks

The second form of this member function fills a CString object with the item's text.

Example

// Dump all of the items in the combo box.
CString str1, str2;
int n;
for (int i = 0; i < m_pComboBox->GetCount(); i++)
{
   n = m_pComboBox->GetLBTextLen(i);
   m_pComboBox->GetLBText(i, str1.GetBuffer(n));
   str1.ReleaseBuffer();

   str2.Format(_T("item %d: %s\r\n"), i, str1.GetBuffer(0));
   AFXDUMP(str2);
}
