How to capture the selected text in a ListBox....
Author
CListBox *List;
List = (CListBox*)GetDlgItem(IDC_LIST);
List->???????;
That is the code I have....I need to get the text of the selected option in the list box. GetWindowText(); seemed like the obvious choice but that didnt work. Does Anyone know the function? Thanks in advance,
-Brad
hehehe, the first time I got that problem...........
Ok, do the following:
To find the list of commands available for ListBoxes search
for "List NEAR Box NEAR Messages" in the MSDN Library.

Ok, do the following:
TCHAR SelectedText[256];int nCurSel = SendDlgItemMessage(hWnd, IDC_LIST, LB_GETCURSEL, (WPARAM) 0, (LPARAM) 0);SendDlgItemMessage(hWnd, IDC_LIST, LB_GETTEXT, (WPARAM) nCurSel, (LPARAM) (LPCTSTR) SelectedText); To find the list of commands available for ListBoxes search
for "List NEAR Box NEAR Messages" in the MSDN Library.

Hey, I got it to work...thanks a lot. Just for my knowledge, is that the ONLY way to get the selected text from a listbox? There isnt just a function that would return it? ty again,

Why don't you create a function that returns the
selected text like:

selected text like:
void GetSelectedText( HWND hWnd, UINT ResourceID, TCHAR *String ){ TCHAR SelectedText[256]; int nCurSel = SendDlgItemMessage(hWnd, IDC_LIST, LB_GETCURSEL, (WPARAM) 0, (LPARAM) 0); SendDlgItemMessage(hWnd, ResourceID, LB_GETTEXT, (WPARAM) nCurSel, (LPARAM) (LPCTSTR) SelectedText); lstrcpy( String, SelectedText );} Hope that helps

function prototypes:
int GetCurSel();
void GetText(int nIndex, CString &rString);
example:
Use Kamakazi's way for non-MFC apps.

int GetCurSel();
void GetText(int nIndex, CString &rString);
example:
int Index;CString MyString;...Index = List->GetCurSel();if(Index != -1){ List->GetText(Index, MyString);} Use Kamakazi's way for non-MFC apps.
