CComboBox::GetLBText

int GetLBText( int nIndex, LPTSTR lpszText ) const;

void GetLBText( int nIndex, 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 CB_ERR.

Parameters

nIndex

Contains the zero-based index of the list-box string to be copied.

lpszText

Points to a buffer that is to receive the string. The buffer must have sufficient space for the string and a terminating null character.

rString

A reference to a CString.

Remarks

Gets a string from the list box of a combo box. The second form of this member function fills a CString object with the item’s text.

Example

// The pointer to my combo box.
extern CComboBox* pmyComboBox;

// Dump all of the items in the combo box.
#ifdef _DEBUG
   CString str, str2;
   int n;
   for (int i=0;i < pmyComboBox->GetCount();i++)
   {
      n = pmyComboBox->GetLBTextLen( i );
      pmyComboBox->GetLBText( i, str.GetBuffer(n) );
      str.ReleaseBuffer();

      str2.Format(_T("item %d: %s\r\n"), i, str.GetBuffer(0));
      afxDump << str2;
   }
#endif
