I hate to admit it, but I have no idea how to do this. Does anyone know how to get the text of the selected item in a listbox?

Edit: I made my own window, not using MFC, etc.

I dont know myself but it sounds like while creating the listbox there should be a parameter or value somewhere that you can call to retrieve it.

Otherwise i'd try google and wait for the pro's to enter Laughing

Dialog = GetDlgItemText();

Try : SendMessage();

Tried GetDlgItemText and SendMessage already. I have already tried LB_GETTEXT, LB_GETSELTEXT, etc. Can't get it working, the buffer I store it in always returns a bizarre string, the same one no matter which item I select. Weird.

Search for the text string using LB_FINDSTRING, it will return the position of the item.

EDIT: Didn't see you wanted to get the the text from it.. Thought you wanted to get position of the item :p. Anyways to get the text you can use LB_GETTEXT

Use a listview, it's easier Sad

No no no, you're getting me wrong Trax. What I want is to get the text of the selected item. In my list, suppose I have "A", "B", and "C". I want to check to see which one has been selected by the user.

To get the selected item in the list you use LB_GETCURSEL and to get the text of the item you use LB_GETTEXT.

Oh i had same error with my dll, make the string you select smaller like with send message like test.

Figured it out. Here's how I did it, as a reference for the rest of the community:
