    Well, the code snippet you have here is going about it the right way, so without further details, it is not possible to say what is wrong.

    Is the LBN_SELCHANGE coming in? Remember, that message is sent when the selection in the list box is about to change.

    Is the LB_CURSEL returning a valid index, or LB_ERR?

    Are the parameters correct?

    Could be almost anything.
