C++ Listbox problem

ok so say I have items 1-29 in my listbox. and I use sendmessage to send "1" using LB_SELECTSTRING

it will select 10 instead of 1.

does anyone know why it does that?

Also would it be possible to select the index instead?

I'm making a web IDE and stuff and I'm using the Listbox to keep track how how many lines are in a richtext box and what line you are currently on.

it works like its suppose to but if I go up to line one and there is 10 in the list box it will select 10 instead of one. and I checked it is send one to it not 10

*is really confused*

It's hard to say without being able to see any code. Would you be able to provide the pertinent information?

Code:

---

  int rtf_listbox_get_line;
                                  rtf_listbox_get_line=SendMessage(rtfctl,EM_LINEFROMCHAR,negative,0)+1;
                                  stringstream lbsl;
                                  lbsl << rtf_listbox_get_line;
                                  SendMessage(Line_Count,LB_SELECTSTRING,0,(LPARAM&)lbsl.str());
                                  //cout << "Listbox Line:"<< lbsl.str()<<endl;

---

That will select the number from the listbox indicating the current line you are on in the rich text box.

I use some other code for my rtf on key change and stuff that will add the line number to the listbox.

Is it because 10 has a 1 in it and when your at line one its select 10 because of 1?

You would get more help if you asked your question in the proper forum, i.e. the WinAPI forum.
