TVM_GETISEARCHSTRING message
Retrieves the incremental search string for a tree-view control. The tree-view control uses the incremental search string to select an item based on characters typed by the user. You can send this message explicitly or by using the TreeView_GetISearchString macro.
Parameters
-
wParam
- Must be zero.
-
lParam
-
Pointer to the buffer that receives the incremental search string.
Return value
Returns the number of characters in the incremental search string.
Remarks
Security Warning: Using this message incorrectly might compromise the security of your program. You must allocate a large enough buffer to hold the string. First call the message passing NULL in lParam. This returns the number of characters, excluding NULL, that are required. Then call the message a second time to retrieve the string. You should review Security Considerations: Microsoft Windows Controls before continuing.
If the tree-view control is not in incremental search mode, the return value is zero.
