Re: get text from listbox

It is a listbox as I can find the hwnd using the classname ListBox, plus Spy++ tells me it is a listbox.

Arrrrrggggg

No wonder you are having problems, it is NOT a listbox but a LISTVIEW. a completely different animal.

None of the code you have been supplied with will work for ListViews, everybody has been helping you on the asumption that you had a listbox there. A similar call for a Listview needs to know which column you want to read from as well as the item index.

The listview control with columns and stuff is part of the Common Controls.

Start this thread again but this time use the word Listview in the title, I'm sure you will get a response that will sort your problem for you.

Not sure that could work.
The listbox has 7 columns, 1 for an icon and 6 with strings.
The number of charaters in all these 6 strings together can come up to about 300 characters.
The garbled text is only about 5 characters.
This is an example output for all the listbox items:

?BCà
h&Ex
У?x
¤?
°Dv
@.Cà
ÿv
ø:?`
(hv
ðC`
`C
(C
ØÄrà
?@
xâv`
83E`
`gv`
XÞC
ÞC
Ov
XÐm

Karl, 
I don't have anyway to test this (unless you can point me to a
commonly available unicode listbox?), but I wonder how this might
work?


as I said already, the garbled text "¸îA`" is typically for an owner
drawn listbox, and I don't know any (common valid) method to get the
real text.

Yeah, I hear ya there. It all seemed to get confused when the references to
a "string of question marks" came out. If it's owner-drawn, he's probably
hosed.

Is it possible to convert the garbled text in a function, comparing the English output and the garbled text, assuming someone could figure out how to write the decoding function?
