This is easy in .NET (not my question) but I'm trying to figure out if it is possible to simply change the text of a string in a Win32 list box control given an index.
There is a GetText function that takes an item index but nothing to change the text of an existing item/string. My workaround will be to remove it and add it back in the box (which is also a weird prospect since there is no single command to add a string + item data -- these must be done carefully by inserting the string and then setting the item data on the index of the inserted string, which is tricky (not possible?) with sorting active).

The types of forms: Simple forms, each representing a subset of the application's data. Composite forms, composed of several simple forms. Ad hoc grids, in which you aren't confined by the form's design.
The single-line edit control has the ES_PASSWORD style. By default, edit controls with this style display an asterisk for each character that is typed by the user. This example, however, uses the EM_SETPASSWORDCHAR message to change the default character from an asterisk to a plus sign (+).
Answer. Explanation: The textbox control is generally used for editable text, although it can also be made read only.
Yes, the lack of a LB_SETITEMTEXT message is a bit weird.
You should put your Delete+Insert+SetData calls between calls to WM_SETREDRAW...

At the risk of being off topic...
I tend to use the ListView control all of the time. You'll want it in report view to mimic a listbox, and, as a plus, it supports multiple columns.
Oh.. and it has a LVM_SETITEM Message :)
