    Editing listbox data

    I looked through the listbox controls on MSDN and they don't seem to have some kind of message like this:
    Code:
    SendMessage((HWND)ListBox, LB_SETTEXT, LBindex, (LPARAM)AString);
    Easy question: So how do you edit a listbox item?
    Hard question: How do you figure out where in the memory your program is storing the string for the listbox item?

    I'm not sure I fully understand this question.

    But anyway, unfortunately, there is no such animal as LB_SETTEXT. So, you may want to try the following LB edit implementation:

    Code:
    int iCurSel = SendMessage((HWND)lParam, LB_GETCURSEL, (WPARAM)0, 0L);
           	SendMessage((HWND)lParam, LB_INSERTSTRING, (WPARAM)(index), (LPARAM)"NewItem");
            SendMessage((HWND)lParam, LB_DELETESTRING, (WPARAM)(index+1), 0L);
            SendMessage((HWND)lParam, LB_SETCURSEL, (WPARAM)iCurSel, 0L);

    That's exactly what I'm trying to avoid.

    I know there's no such thing as LB_SETTEXT, but what I'm saying is there really should be.

    But if there really isn't, how do I go about where in the memory my program is storing the string for a listbox item?

    ReadProcessMemory is one way of finding out where your listbox strings are stored.
