Thread: Fill Listbox

Id like to fill a listbox (BC++ 6) with the numbers 0 to n;

Its a graphical user interface and i cant seem to get it to work.

From what i figured out: ->Items->Add(i) adds a string i to the listbox but it doesnt wanna add more then 1.

I tried: something like this (pseudo code)

for(i=0; i <= n; i++)
Items->Add(i)

now im wondering how i can extend it to make it add more then jst one number.

ANyone have any clues??

Its a wrapper

This doesn't seem to be Win32 API, what is it? A wrapper?

Been ages since I used Borland to create a Win app.. wish I could help, but all is forgotten. I got an old book lying around though and will browse through it to see if I can see the solution.

(I think they call it the Visual Component Library)

Just quickly, you are only trying to add STRINGS right? The listbox only seems to like strings so your logic should work.

Code:

Listing->Items->Add("Item 1");
Listing->Items->Add("Item 2");
Listing->Items->Add("Item 3");
Listing->Items->Add("Item 4");

Listing->Items->Insert(4, "Item 5");

??

If you are trying to add #'s perhaps there is a way to convert it to a string first?

Code:

pseudocode
for(int i = 0; i < n; i++)
Listing->Items->Add(convertToString(i)); // Pseudocode not actual code.

so:

Code:

for(int i = 0; i < 5; i++)
  Listing->Items->Add("a");

So when you do the above in your code it isn't adding 5 a's to your listbox?

Also, there appears to be an insert function:

Insert(param1, param2);
Where
param1 = position into the listbox where 0 = first item, 1 = second, etc..
param2 = string to add.

Code:

for(int i = 0; i < 5; i++)
 Listing->Items->Insert(i, "a");

It does work???

for(int i = 0; i < teller; i++)
this->ListBox1->Items->Add(i);

adds the number from 0 to teller

still dunno where i went wrong.

Tnx a llot
