LM_QUERYITEMTEXT
mp1 = MPFROM2SHORT((SHORT) iItem, (SHORT) cch); /* item-buffer size    */
mp2 = MPFROMP((FAR *) pszText);                 /* buffer for the text */
 
An application sends an LM_QUERYITEMTEXT message to copy the text for a
specified list-box item into a buffer provided by the caller. The size of
the buffer can be determined by sending an LM_QUERYITEMTEXTLENGTH message
for the item.
