Solution 1

This CodeProject article provides comprehensive overview: Using the CListBox control[^].

Pay attention for the notification message LBN_SELCHANGE in the section "Handling CListBox Messages".

Please see: LBN_SELCHANGE notification code (Windows)[^].

As to the edit box, you can use the class CEdit. Using is the way you probably does not need additional explanations: CEdit Class[^].

Basically, this is all you need to know.

Good luck.

This is not a reply, this is a solution. This is all you really need. Yes, it needs some time and effort, but this is unavoidable. Indeed, the problem is quite simple. If you want the solution soon, start to work intensively. :-)

If you have some follow-up question, I'll try to answer.

but it is about a listbox control I am asking about list control.

Sergey Alexandrovich Kryukov 15-Jan-16 8:13am

Isn't it the same? or do you mean list view control? You have to define clearly what you need.

Solution 2

Are you using CListCtrl? if Yes see visual c++ - How to detect a CListCtrl selection change? - Stack Overflow[^]

yes I exactly want this. but I want the selected value's Text to store in CString type variable. How to get the text of selected item of the list control

Kishor-KW 17-Jan-16 1:54am

I got the solution using following code means I got the text of selected value.

void Cselect_product::OnItemchangedListCategory(NMHDR* pNMHDR, LRESULT* pResult)
{
NM_LISTVIEW* pNMListView = (NM_LISTVIEW*)pNMHDR;
// TODO: Add your control notification handler code here

CListCtrl* pListCtrl = (CListCtrl *) GetDlgItem(IDC_ListCategory);

POSITION pos = m_klist.GetFirstSelectedItemPosition ();
if (pos == NULL)
TRACE0 ("No items were selected! \n");
else
{
while (pos)
{
int nItem = m_klist.GetNextSelectedItem (pos);
TRACE1 ("Item %d was selected! \n", nItem);
//you could do your own processing on nItem here

strText = m_klist.GetItemText(nItem, 0);
}
}

*pResult = 0;
}

but list control's view property is set to the List at that time I want all this operation when view property of list control is Report.
