LVM_GETITEM confusion

Question

The LVM_GETITEM message documentation says:

I'm not sure I understand what does the highlighted text means, does it mean that the buffer that I set to the pszText member could not be used, but rather the pszText member could map to a string that is placed elsewhere in memory?

Answer 1

I'm not sure I understand what does the highlighted text means, does it mean that the buffer that I set to the pszText member could not be used, but rather the pszText member could map to a string that is placed elsewhere in memory?

Yes, that is exactly what it means.
