  • Article

This message is sent by an application to retrieve the index of the currently selected item, if any, in a single-selection list box.

LB_GETCURSEL wParam = 0; 
  lParam = 0;

Parameters

  • wParam

Return Values

In a single-selection list box, the return value is the zero-based index of the currently selected item. If there is no selection, the return value is LB_ERR.

Remarks

Do not send this message to a multiple-selection list box.

To retrieve the indexes of the selected items in a multiple-selection list box, use the LB_GETSELITEMS message. To determine whether the item that has the focus rectangle in a multiple selection list box is selected, use the LB_GETSEL message.

If sent to a multiple-selection list box, LB_GETCURSEL returns the index of the item that has the focus rectangle. If no items are selected, it returns zero.
