index
Type: System::Int32

[in] The index of the item for which to get the display text.

Return Value

Type: System::String^

The text to be displayed, otherwise null.

The display text is shown in the list but it is the value returned from the GetName method that is inserted. It is also the value returned from GetName that is used in finding the best match. This allows the display text, for example, to include adornments such as surrounding "<" and ">" characters or show decorated names as used in C++.
