Hello

I can't figure out how to make my SendMessage work with TVM_GETITEM in
C#.
There is no way it works! I=B4ve tried everything possible!
I could get every item handle... but I still dont know how to make it
work!

string text =3D Marshal.PtrToStringAuto(tvItem.pszText);

MessageBox.Show(text);
Marshal.FreeHGlobal(tvItem.pszText);
Marshal.FreeHGlobal(ptrTvi);
}

The Treeview that I want to get information is from a old program...
from 1999-2002... maybe it=B4s too old and works with ANSI.
The worst thing is that if I try to get the same information from a
Visual Studio 2005=B4s TreeView... it returns garbage... but something
seems to be readable, but from that old program... it=B4s just
Garbage: "WndMarshalAsClass".

Thank you!

You can overload SendMessage to take a TVITEM structure as parameter. It
will automatically marshal it for you

[DllImport("user32.dll")]
static extern int SendMessage(IntPtr window, int message, IntPtr wParam,
TVITEM lParam);

Also note that the cchTextMax parameter in TVITEM is the size in characters,
not bytes
