Getting the text from a listbox item.

[Vida Marcell]

Another day another question that i will solve 10 minutes after asking this. Hi everyone! im having a problem, i want to load an image from my disc that has the same name as one of the listbox item, here is what im thinking about:

auto pixmap = LoadPixmap("the selected item from the listbox"->GetText());
                    if (pixmap)
                    {
                        profilepic->SetPixmap(pixmap, PIXMAP_CONTAIN);
                        loadimage->SetText(StripDir("the selected item from the listbox"->GetText()));
                    }

here is what i was thinking for solution:

auto pixmap = LoadPixmap(partners->Selection->GetText());
                    if (pixmap)
                    {
                        profilepic->SetPixmap(pixmap, PIXMAP_CONTAIN);
                        loadimage->SetText(StripDir(partners->Selection->GetText()));
                    }

summary: i have to get the text from the selected item in a listbox

Thanks a lot for the help!

To get the text of a widget item it will be something like this:

auto s = widget->items[n].text

Allright, so im not familiar with arrays. but should it look like this? 

 auto pixmap = LoadPixmap(partners->items[n].text + ".png");
                if (pixmap)
                {
                    profilepic->SetPixmap(pixmap, PIXMAP_CONTAIN);
                    loadimage->SetText(StripDir(partners->items[n].text + ".png"));
                }

the n value is not correct for me, what should i do?

[Josh]

Well, which item do you want? The selected item?

n = widget->GetSelectedItem();

If this is happening in response to an event, then n would be equal to the event data value.
