    c++ mysql++ WinMain windows programming

    here's a snippet of the code I'm having trouble with:
    Code:
    	case IDC_GET:
    					MYSQL *pConnection; 
    					MYSQL_RES *pResult;   //pointer to the result set structure
    					MYSQL_ROW Row;
    					pConnection = mysql_init(NULL);
    					SendDlgItemMessage(hwnd, IDC_LIST, LB_ADDSTRING, 0, (LPARAM)TEXT("Attempting to Connect to"));
    					SendDlgItemMessage(hwnd, IDC_LIST, LB_ADDSTRING, 0, (LPARAM)TEXT("Database......."));
    					mysql_real_connect(pConnection, "localhost","alakazam","tripletkingsburg","tripletadmin",0,NULL,0);
        				SendDlgItemMessage(hwnd, IDC_LIST, LB_ADDSTRING, 0, (LPARAM)TEXT("Connected!"));
    					mysql_query(pConnection,"SELECT * FROM products"); //query the database
    					pResult = mysql_store_result(pConnection); 
    					printf("\n\nThe Number Of products in the database: %d\n\n",mysql_num_rows(pResult));
    					SendDlgItemMessage(hwnd, IDC_LIST, LB_ADDSTRING, 0, (LPARAM)printf("%d",mysql_num_rows(pResult)));
    					mysql_free_result(pResult);
    				break;




    This line is my real problem:

    SendDlgItemMessage(hwnd, IDC_LIST, LB_ADDSTRING, 0, (LPARAM)printf("%d",mysql_num_rows(pResult)));


    how do I print my results out to the IDC_LIST??

    Anybody who has done this please help.


    and remember that this is for gui interface not a dos console. I know how to do it in a dos console.

    Make a text buffer, use wsprintf instead of printf and use it outside SendDlgItemMessage function, and then pass the address of this buffer. Isn't it easy?

    TCHAR szBuffer[50];

    wsprintf (szBuffer, TEXT ("%d"), mysql_num_rows (pResult));

    SendDlgItemMessage (hwnd, IDC_LIST, LB_ADDSTRING, 0, (LPARAM) szBuffer);

    This would work perhaps.

    golem, is your name supposed to be the character in lord of the rings? I could be wrong but isn't it spelled "gollum" or something like that?

    No, it's an historical monster made from clay by a jew rabbi which name I haven't remembered. I haven't seen that film.

    LOL!

    I don't know if that was a joke or not but it was funny as hell. Haven't seen lord of the rings? It's pretty good. Worth your time. I was kinda referring to the books though.

    Among many films I've seen lately was Matrix and I thought
    I understood it. But what this topic has to do with general C++ ?

    the original post belongs in the windows forum, our discussion belongs in General Discussion forum. I don't care if you don't
