how can I add items (strings) to a list control?
Using SetDlgItemText(ID,"xxx"
doesn't work.

to add an item to a list control :

LVITEM lvi;

lvi.mask = LVIF_TEXT;
lvi.iItem = i;
lvi.iSubItem = 0;
lvi.pszText = (LPTSTR)(LPCTSTR)(buf);
listItem = my_list_variable.InsertItem(&lvi);

where my_list_variable is a variable of the CListCtr

actually, i'm not sure how to use ur code since I don't have my List control like that, i had it created in the MFC dialog boxl; i can refer to the List control by its id
ID_LIST and such as
GetDlgItem(ID_LIST);
but the above function returns CWnd*
and not a CListCtr type.

How can I insert the text if all I have is the ID (int) of the list control in my dialog box.
Thanks.

It is very simple :

CListCtr * temp_list = (CListCtr*)GetDlgItem(ID_LIST);
and now you have your variable (it is a pointer now)
so you will use :

temp_list->InsertItem(&lvi);

i forgot to tell you that buf is a char * which has the string you want to add.
