Can some one please tell me how to insert items into a friggin CListCtrl

[User 10924543]

This method does not work:

// Insert item for col 0
lvi.mask = LVIF_TEXT;
lvi.pszText = "one";
m_ListCtrl.InsertItem(&lvi);
// Insert subitem for col 1
lvi.pszText = "two";
lvi.iSubItem = 1;
m_ListCtrl.InsertItem(&lvi);

This method does not work:

	for (int nI = 0; nI < m\_strarrayOtherImgFiles.GetCount(); nI++)
	{
		pOtherImgsList->SetItemText(nI, 0, m\_strarrayOtherImgFiles.GetAt(nI));
	}

Nothing seems to work.

Hello, First, see the topic - 'How to ask Questions' in this forum. Second, you are missing lvi.iItem I think. Try adding this and see.

// Insert item for col 0
lvi.mask = LVIF_TEXT;
lvi.iItem = 0;
lvi.iSubItem = 0;
lvi.pszText = "one";
m_ListCtrl.InsertItem(&lvi);
// Insert subitem for col 1
lvi.pszText = "two";
lvi.iSubItem = 1;
m_ListCtrl.InsertItem(&lvi);

You could always try reading the documentation[^], or finding one of the many articles, such as: Using the List Control[^].

I have been reading the documentation - where else do you think I obtained those methods that I have been trying. This is what I have tried precisely. And function

int InsertItem(
int nItem,
LPCTSTR lpszItem

,as described here (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/8b9s12fc.aspx[^]), DOES NOT WORK The function does nothing. WHY? Can you only add items to a CListCtrl via

int InsertItem(
const LVITEM* pItem
);

and the function that I have been using is in fact defunct?

**void CImageDialog::DDX_List(CDataExchange* pDX, UINT uListCtrlID, CStringArray& rarrayOtherImgFiles)
{
CListCtrl* pListCtrl = (CListCtrl*)GetDlgItem(uListCtrlID);
int nI = 0;
CString strItem;

ASSERT\_VALID(pListCtrl);

if (pDX->m\_bSaveAndValidate)
{
	m\_arrayOtherImageFiles.RemoveAll();
	for (nI = 0; nI < pListCtrl->GetItemCount(); nI++)
	{
		strItem = pListCtrl->GetItemText(nI, 0);
		m\_arrayOtherImageFiles.Add(strItem);
	}
}
else
{
	pListCtrl->DeleteAllItems();
	for (nI = m\_arrayOtherImageFiles.GetCount() - 1; nI >= 0; nI--)
	{
		pListCtrl->InsertItem(1, m\_arrayOtherImageFiles.GetAt(nI));
	}
}

}**

void CImageDialog::DoDataExchange(CDataExchange* pDX)
{
CMyDialog::DoDataExchange(pDX);
DDX_Text(pDX, IDC_EDIT_HEADER_IMG, m_strHeaderImageFile);
DDX_Text(pDX, IDC_EDIT_NAV_IMG1, m_strNavImg1File);
DDX_Text(pDX, IDC_EDIT_NAV_IMG2, m_strNavImg2File);
DDX_Text(pDX, IDC_EDIT_OTHER_IMG_FILES, m_strOtherImgFiles);
DDX_List(pDX, IDC_LIST_OTHER_IMG_FILES, m_arrayOtherImageFiles);
}

Of course the function works, it is used in List controls all over the world. It is more likely that your code is doing something wrong. For a start you are not checking the return code to see whether it succeeded or not, and if not, why. What is the current value of the index nI, and what is being returned by the call to m_arrayOtherImageFiles.GetAt(nI)? Use your debugger to trace through your code to diagnose the problem.
