HRESULT IVsDropdownBarClient::GetEntryText(
   [in] long iCombo,
   [in] long iIndex,
   [out] WCHAR **ppszText
);

Note

The text buffer returned in ppszText is typically created by the IVsDropdownBarClient object and the buffer must persist for the life of the IVsDropdownBarClient object.

If you are implementing this interface in managed code and you need to have the string disposed of by the caller, implement the IVsCoTaskMemFreeMyStrings interface on the IVsDropdownBarClient interface.
