Measure ITEM ITEMDATA string coming in as Wide Character string

[ForNow]

Hi I am adding a string to listbox as a 8 bit ansi string for example the string is "8FED90" ending with a null however when the MeasureItem method is called itemData points to the string as wide so it display in memory as 38 00 46 00 45 00 44 00 39 00 30 00 I have Character set as "NOT SET" in my property pages -> Advanced in Visual Studio Thanks

That does not make sense. The data pointed to by the MEASUREITEMSTRUCT is what you have set when you create the control. However, whether it is ANSI or Unicode does not matter, as the actual display dimensions will be the same.
