Problem with Creating CListBox 1

[Captrick458]

I am trying to create a CListBox, and it works if I use

CListBox *pTheList=new CListBox;
pTheList->Create(...
pTheList->AddString(...

however, if I use the following, it will not work.

CListBox TheList;
TheList.Create(...
TheList.AddString(...

The compiler does not complain, and there are no complaints at runtime, TheList just is not visible. According to the MS documentation, either construct should work.

Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

The listbox is destroyed at the end of the routine because it is on the stack. Where is your loop? Is it within the same routine as the listbox creation or somewhere else? If it is in the same routine then it is another problem (no idea what though). Easy way to test

class MyListBox: public CListBox
{
public:
   ~MyListBox()
   {
      MessageBox (NULL, _T("No more listbox"), _T("Destructor"), MB_OK);
   }
};

...
MyListBox TheList;
...
