OK, perhaps you're right, you're on another thread, and that is the problem. Christian Graus - Microsoft MVP - C++ "I am working on a project that will convert a FORTRAN code to corresponding C++ code.I am not aware of FORTRAN syntax" ( spotted in the C++/CLI forum )

One way is to read the entire file contents into a buffer, modify the buffer, and write the buffer back out to the file. "Approved Workmen Are Not Ashamed" - 2 Timothy 2:15 "Judge not by the eye but by the heart." - Native American Proverb

The code is available in Code project itself. Just check this link. http://www.codeproject.com/file/alexfileoperations.asp[^]

My bad. :-O I meant CString::ReadString(). "Approved Workmen Are Not Ashamed" - 2 Timothy 2:15 "Judge not by the eye but by the heart." - Native American Proverb

Very nice : RegisterHotKey again very nice --> Somethings seem HARD to do, until we know how to do them.

Are you using MFC and custom message handling (ON_MESSAGE, ON_REGISTERED_MESSAGE) at all? If so, check that your handler functions for those messages are declared afx_msg LRESULT funcname(WPARAM,LPARAM) and not anything else. This is a common cause of "works in debug, crashes in release". Alternatively, modify your link properties to generate debugging information, and run the release version under the debugger. You can do this without turning off optimisations. This might help you find the area that's at fault. Steve S Developer for hire

you should set the itemidentifier for the subitem, subitem must to know to witch item is to add!? i solve your problem like this: // one lvItem only for SubItems LVITEM lvItem; lvItem.iItem = 0; // this is important!!! can be any linenumber from your listctrl! lvItem.iSubItem = 1; // first subitem lvItem.mask = LVIF_TEXT; // example for iterating: int i = 0; while(i < 10) { // listctrl have only two columns! // Set Subitems Text to 10 Items! lvItem.iItem = i; // first item(first line in the listctrl) //lvItem.iSubItem = 1; // first subitem, stay the same, we dont need to change them here! lvItem.pszText = (LPTSTR)(LPCTSTR) NewText; listCtrl->SetItem(&lvItem); i++; } i try this and it works! regards break; -- modified at 10:43 Thursday 6th July, 2006

Have you removed the wizard comments from source? AFAIK we can use class wizard, only if we created the project by classwizard. When pressing the Ctrl+W it will ask for the list of files. I think it appears only for the projects created through class wizard :( SaRath. _"It is your attitude, not your aptitude, that determines your altitude - Zig Ziglar."

You have to understand the sense behind converting data. For instance: class A : public B { } class C //or struct { } You can: A *p = new A; B *p1 = (B*) p; //because A inherits B !!! you cant B *p2 = (B*) new C;///Bullshit C isnt a B (or A) because C is NOT a B. You can store any data type in a void*, but you have to cast it with a legal cast to a object. I guess you a learning working with pointers? X| Greeting from Germany

I just read in the file into a CString object and tokenize to the new line character using a while loop. i.e. filename = fileContent.Tokenize("\n",iStart); hope this helps. Ferdinad
