CListBox - MultiColumn's - How to ??

[Jay]

Hi All
I am trying to create a 4 column ListBox .
I have added the ListBox to the Dialog & set the MultiColumn
property there.

Using the following names could someone give me some code to,
1/ Create 4 Columns in the ListBox
2/ Load "some data" into each column in row 0

Name : ListBox
Control Variable : m_ctrlList
String Variable :m_strList

Any help is much appreciated as I am not having much luck
with MSDN or the web,

Very basic example...

BOOL CDemoDlg::OnInitDialog()
{
CDialog::OnInitDialog();

// <snip> removed all the MFC generated code for a dialog based app...

// TODO: Add extra initialization here

m_ctrlList.InsertColumn( 0, _T("Column 1"), LVCFMT_LEFT, 100 );
m_ctrlList.InsertColumn( 1, _T("Column 2") ); // Default
formatting...

m_ctrlList.InsertItem( 0, _T("Item One") );
m_ctrlList.SetItemText( 0, 1, _T("SubItem One") );


m_ctrlList.InsertItem( 1, _T("Item Two") );
m_ctrlList.SetItemText( 1, 1, _T("SubItem Two") );

m_ctrlList.InsertItem( 2, _T("Item Three") );
m_ctrlList.SetItemText( 2, 1, _T("SubItem Three") );

return TRUE; // return TRUE unless you set the focus to a control
}

Actually, you answered the question for a list control, which is what I think he really
wants anyway. He is thinking a multicolumn listbox is something other than what it really
is, which is a listbox which has multiple columns to display single top-level data. So my
advice was going to be that he should use a list control--so you've already answered that.
