adding items to list box

[parichaybp]

i just created member variable for IDC_LIST (list box) using MFC class wizard. there i declared m_LIST of type CString. i have just started with vc+ i have no idea how these things works. can u plz help me in adding items to list box and deleting item from list box.

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 problem is i have created a list box with add , remove button & edit box. during the execution of the program i want the contents of the edit box to be added to list box when i click on add button. so tell me hw to start working with list box and declaring member variables for list box.. where and which function in my program i have use.

read this carefully http://codeproject.com/combobox/listbox\_tut.asp

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.
