No, this does not return the actual text. It is used when you have data to store for each item in an owner-drawn listbox.
Use LB_GETCURSEL to find the zero-based index of the selection. If you don't have it stored elsewhere, use LB_GETTEXT to retrieve the item text.

int itemID = (int) SendMessage(hwListBox, LB_GETCURSEL, 0,0);char text[256];SendMessage(hwListBox, LB_GETTEXT, itemID, (LPARAM) text);If it's in a dialog box use SendDlgItemMessage(hwDialog, ID_LISTBOX, ...);

Hey, we've all been there :)
When I first started with win32 I couldn't figure out how to process WM_CLOSE properly (it would just hang) so I had all my programs set up so you would double-click to exit them. Changing exactly 1 line fixed it, but it took me ages to figure out.
