    maybe it is some helpful to you SetCurrentDirectory("c:\\"); m_List2.Dir(DDL_DIRECTORY|DDL_EXCLUSIVE, _T("*.*")); //example m_List2.DeleteString(0); m_List2.AddString("Welcome"); m_List2.InsertString(0,"Hi");

            AddString() is not a member of the CString[^] class. what did you want to do with this ? if IDC_LIST is a CListBox, it doesn't have any sense to associate it to a CString variable !!! explain you wished algorithm for that OnAdd() method please...

                  the list is a list (CListCtrl), and the edit stays an edit (CEdit). what you have to do is : 1. read the edit 2. add to the list

                  CString strCaption;
                  m_Edit.GetWindowText(strCaption);
                  m_List.AddString(strCaption);

                  do you understand it better now ?

                    parichaybp, AddString is function in CListBox not CString you should declare a variable ListBox: you eneter ListBox Control in your form and then right click in control(ListBox) and declare a variable for this control Now you can use this this function or functions You can use this code CString Str; Str="This is test"; m_List.AddString(Str); or other functions
