old problem with CListCtrl::EditLabel

[VladimirF]

{
	//... let's save it for later use
	m_csItemText = pDispInfo->item.pszText;
	m_csOldName = m_csItemText;
}

but obviously I havn't figured out how to get the initial (m_csOldName) because this code invariably leads to m_csOldName as empty.

This code should give you the NEW label, if you look closely...
But before you set the new text to that item, you sure can get its current text.
