    CListCtrl List Style :: MFC

    Hi.

    I added a simple CListCtrl box with a List style to a dialog box. However, I cannot insert more than one item. Another possible problem is that Windows is not drawing the other items. Nonetheless, only one item shows up. Here is an example what how I inserted items.

    Code:
    OnInitDialog(...)
    {
    LVITEM Item;
    Item.mask = LVIF_TEXT;
    Item.state = LVIS_SELECTED;
    Item.stateMask = LVIS_SELECTED;
    Item.cchTextMax = 0;
    Item.iImage = 0;
    Item.lParam = 0;
    Item.iSubItem = 0;
    Item.pszText = TEXT("November");
    
    // I would like to insert ten items in the list box.
    
    for (unsigned i = 0; i < 10; ++i)
       theListBox.InsertItem(&Item);
    After the insertion above, only one line of "Novermber" will show up in the CListCtrl box.

    I have worked with CListCtrl boxes using Report Style. I have not had this problem. I would like to know why does it ignore all new items except the first line?

    Thanks,
    Kuphryn

    Try explicitly setting the iItem and iSubItem of your LVITEM to set each of the 10 items within your loop.

    Okay. Thanks everyone.

    I decided to go back to the same solution I have been using on othe projects: Report style. It works perfect.

    Try
    Code:
    Item.mask=LVIF_TEXT | LVIF_PARAM;
    
    for (unsigned i = 0; i < 10; ++i)
    {
            Item.iItem=i;
            Item.lParam=i;
            theListBox.InsertItem(&Item);
    }

    Okay. Thanks.

    Your solution is unique in that it increments the lParam value. I will consider it.
