Summary:
SYMPTOMS
On page 6-64 in the "Windows Software Development Kit Reference
Volume 1," the description of the message WM_GETTEXT is incorrect.
The description of the WM_GETTEXT function incorrectly reads:
For lixt [sic] boxes, the text is the currently selected item.
RESOLUTION/STATUS
WM_GETTEXT does not copy the selected text for list boxes. To copy
the selected text from a list box, the LB_GETTEXT function should
be used instead.
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a documentation error on page
6-64 of the "Windows Software Development Kit Reference Volume 1."
The description will be corrected in a future version of the
Windows SDK documentation.
