    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

                          Delete the variable and recreate it as a CListBox instead.
