    A simple line like the following

    myListCtrl.InsertItem(0,_T("foo"));

    Should do the magic. See also this documentation page for a complete example http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/8b9s12fc(VS.80).aspx[^]. What was your code and what was the exception occurred? :)

            Maybe you need to post more code. The code you posted so far actually works on my system. :)

                    My bet is that because you inserted a new column at 1, an empty zero width column was created at column 0. The inserted item is there, but it's in the 0th column, which you can't see. Try inserting columns from index 0 instead! :)

                        Or add SubItems. Good bet indeed. :)

                          Don't worry about. Just kidding with my old friend Hamid. BTW try to start insertion from column 0, as suggested by Jörgen Sigvardsson. :)

Let me give you some more details, I might have done something wrong there... I have used VC++ Wizard to create my project (i m new to vc++) Then I added List control to a Dialog box Then changed its properties to ->Report Then created a m_users variable Then I have inserted 4 columns to it Everything works fine till here... Now I try to add some data to it, & nothing happens on the list ! plz friends, guide me in this....
