This makes it useful when implementing end user commands that allow users to rearrange a document, such as cutting and pasting."..

I don't think so - if IDS_COL1_CAPTION is resource identifier. When you build exe/dll, the #defines are expanded to constant integers, there's no 'IDS_COL1_CAPTION' literal in executable. You'd have to provide your own mapping from strings to integers. Tomasz Sowinski -- http://www.shooltz.com ** Putt knot yore thrust inn spel chequers. **

I'm not sure, but I think that if you don't set an image explicitly for an item it gets the first from the imagelist. Be sure to pass LVIF_IMAGE to SetItem in the 'mask' argument only for those items you want to have images. I have no other ideas.

The _tcstod() family of functions convert from a string to a double.
