Members
mask
Specifies which members to retrieve or set. It can be a combination of the following values:
| Value | Description |
| TCIF_IMAGE | The iImage member is valid. |
| TCIF_PARAM | The lParam member is valid. |
| TCIF_RTLREADING | The text of pszText is displayed using right-to-left reading order on Hebrew or Arabic systems. |
| TCIF_STATE | The dwState member is valid. |
| TCIF_TEXT | The pszText member is valid. |
dwState
Specifies the item’s current state if information is being retrieved. If item information is being set, this member contains the state value to be set for the item. For a list of valid tab control item states, see Tab Control Item States.
dwStateMask
Specifies which bits of the dwState member are valid.
pszText
Pointer to a null-terminated string that contains the tab text when item information is being set. If item information is being retrieved, this member specifies the address of the buffer that receives the tab text.
CchTextMax
Size of the buffer pointed to by the pszText member. If the structure is not receiving information, this member is ignored.
iImage
Index into the tab control’s image list, or -1 if there is no image for the tab.
lParam
Application-defined data associated with the tab control item. If more or less than 4 bytes of application-defined data exist per tab, an application must define a structure and use it instead of the TCITEM structure. The first member of the application-defined structure must be a TCITEMHEADER structure.
Remarks
This structure supersedes the TC_ITEM structure.
