Deal or No Deal listbox prob

Deal or No Deal listbox prob

Having a prob sending items to the listboxes. There are three list boxes high side low side and offer.

Code:

---

SetDlgItemText(hwnd, IDC_TEXT, "This is a string

---

I have no idc-text as the example came from. Have tried sendmessage and setdlgitem. The prob seems to be addressing the listbox.

Code:

---

void creatbuttonlistboxoffer( HWND hwnd )
{
      UINT lbo;
   
HWND Button = CreateWindow( 
    "LISTBOX",  // predefined class
    "NO DEAL!",      // button text
    WS_VISIBLE | WS_CHILD | LBS_HASSTRINGS ,  // styles
 
    // Size and position values are given explicitly, because
    // the CW_USEDEFAULT constant gives zero values for buttons.
    130,        // starting x position
    190,        // starting y position
    180,        // button width
    100,        // button height
    hwnd,      // parent window

    NULL,      // No menu
  (HINSTANCE) GetWindowLong(hwnd, GWL_HINSTANCE),
    NULL);      // pointer not needed
 
}

---

is how the listbox is setup. Have tried “creatbuttonlistboxoffer” in the sendmessage and setdlgitemtext spots id. Where idc-listbox or idc-text would be. I left them in the comments. Errors are can not convert void to hwnd etc. tried casting them that do not work eighter. Meow! Could redo code like winforge examples using resource style listbox but want to know how to send with using creatwindowex way. Attached I hope is code.

thank you meow

The following must be declared as GLOBAL.

Code:

---

HWND ButtonLow;

---

Then call..

Code:

---

SendMessage(ButtonLow, LB_ADDSTRING, 0,        (LPARAM)"This is a string");

---

Ok put

Code:

---

/* Deal or NO Deal .cpp */

#include <windows.h>
#include <stdio.h>

HWND creatbuttonlistboxoffer;

....

SendMessage(creatbuttonlistboxoffer, LB_ADDSTRING, 0,        (LPARAM)"This is a string");

---

declared global. Getting error
788 C:\Dev-Cpp\Project55DorND2\DealorNODeal.cpp `void creatbuttonlistboxoffer(HWND__*)' redeclared as different kind of symbol

6 C:\Dev-Cpp\Project55DorND2\DealorNODeal.cpp previous declaration of `HWND__*creatbuttonlistboxoffer'

6 C:\Dev-Cpp\Project55DorND2\DealorNODeal.cpp previous non-function declaration `HWND__*creatbuttonlistboxoffer'

788 C:\Dev-Cpp\Project55DorND2\DealorNODeal.cpp conflicts with function declaration `void creatbuttonlistboxoffer(HWND__*)'

and few more errors

I've attached the modified source code that illustrates the above solution

thank you.
looking it over.
meow.

Ok it works
I see what I did and how it works. Thought the prob was with the sendmessage but it was with how I was setting up the window handle.

Still trying to figure out how the odds are calculated for the offers.
