GetText

Gets a string from a list box.

intGetText(intnIndex,LPTSTRlpszBuffer)const;voidGetText(intnIndex,CString&rString)const;

Parameters

nIndex

Specifies the zero-based index of the string to be retrieved.

lpszBuffer

Points to the buffer that receives the string. The buffer must have sufficient space for the string and a terminating null character. The size of the string can be determined ahead of time by calling theGetTextLenmember function.

rString

A reference to aCStringobject.

Return Value

The length (in bytes) of the string, excluding the terminating null character. IfnIndexdoes not specify a valid index, the return value isLB_ERR.

Remarks

The second form of this member function fills aCStringobject with the string text.

Example

// The pointer to my list box.extern CListBox* pmyListBox;// Dump all of the items in the list box.#ifdef _DEBUG   CString str, str2;   int n;   for (int i=0;i < pmyListBox->GetCount();i++)   {      n = pmyListBox->GetTextLen( i );      pmyListBox->GetText( i, str.GetBuffer(n) );      str.ReleaseBuffer();      str2.Format(_T("item %d: %s\r\n"), i, str.GetBuffer(0));      afxDump << str2;   }#endif

ex>

CString strServiceName = _T("");
m_ServiceList.GetText( m_ServiceList.GetCurSel(), strServiceName );
