getting contents of a selected line in a list box 1

[cluelessC]

Hello, everyone!

Does anybody know what the equivalent of a 'GetLine' function in respect of List Boxes is? If I have the index of the selected line, how do I get its contents? The 'DlgDirSelect' does not seem to work... :-(

Well, I am not really dealing with directories anyway, so, what other function CAN I use? Would be most grateful for any advice!!!

Use :

CString cStr ;
MyList.GetText(MyList.GetCurSel(), &cStr) ;

Thank you very much, William, and for those wishing to use the text from the selected line in the list box, please, note that the address reference might give you a type mismatch error. This is how I used the code (to check if the string was actually seen):

CString str;
m_MyList.GetText(m_MyList.GetCurSel(), str);
m_MyEdit.SetWindowText(str); //just to c(it)out<<...

Cheers for your help, matey, have a nice day!

I used the AddressOf operator out of force of habit!

Sorry.
