CListBox::GetText

intGetText(intnIndex**,LPTSTRlpszBuffer)const;**

voidGetText(intnIndex**,CString&rString)const;**

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 LB_ERR.

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 the GetTextLen member function.

rString

A reference to a CString object.

Remarks

Gets a string from a list box. The second form of this member function fills a CString object 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
