TCM_GETITEM message

Retrieves information about a tab in a tab control. You can send this message explicitly or by using the TabCtrl_GetItem macro.

Parameters

wParam

Index of the tab.

lParam

Pointer to a TCITEM structure that specifies the information to retrieve and receives information about the tab. When the message is sent, the mask member specifies which attributes to return. If the mask member specifies the TCIF_TEXT value, the pszText member must contain the address of the buffer that receives the item text, and the cchTextMax member must specify the size of the buffer.

Return value

Returns TRUE if successful, or FALSE otherwise.

Remarks

If the TCIF_TEXT flag is set in the mask member of the TCITEM structure, the control may change the pszText member of the structure to point to the new text instead of filling the buffer with the requested text. The control may set the pszText member to NULL to indicate that no text is associated with the item.
