The TC_ITEM structure specifies or receives the attributes of a tab.
typedef struct _TC_ITEM {
UINT mask; // value specifying which members to retrieve or set
UINT lpReserved1; // reserved; do not use
UINT lpReserved2; // reserved; do not use
LPSTR pszText; // pointer to string containing tab text
int cchTextMax; // size of buffer pointed to by the pszText member
int iImage; // index to tab control's image
LPARAM lParam; // application-defined data associated with tab
} TC_ITEM;
Members
mask
Value specifying which members to retrieve or set. This member can be TCIF_ALL (meaning all members), or zero or more of the following values:
| Value | Meaning |
| TCIF_TEXT | The pszText member is valid. |
| TCIF_IMAGE | The iImage member is valid. |
| TCIF_PARAM | The lParam member is valid. |
| TCIF_RTLREADING | Displays the text of pszText using right-to-left reading order on Hebrew or Arabic systems. |
lpReserved1
Reserved; do not use.
lpReserved2
Reserved; do not use.
pszText
Pointer to a null-terminated string that contains the tab text if the structure contains information about a tab. If the structure is receiving information, this member specifies the address of the buffer that receives the tab text.
cchTextMax
Size of the buffer pointed to by the pszText member. If the structure is not receiving information, this member is ignored.
iImage
Index into the tab control's image list or - 1 if there is no image for the tab.
lParam
Application-defined data associated with the tab. If there are more or less than 4 bytes of application-defined data per tab, an application must define a structure and use it instead of the TC_ITEM structure. The first member of the application-defined structure must be a TC_ITEMHEADER structure.
Remarks
This structure is used with the TCM_INSERTITEM, TCM_GETITEM, and TCM_SETITEM messages.
