Question

I am a beginner to Visual Studio C++. I am creating a dialog based application using MFC. I want to read some file and display some required text from that file in the dialog.

the code is:

   CFileFind finder;
    bool bFound;

   CString filename = "C:\\FilesLocation\\*.txt";

   bFound = finder.FindFile(filename);
   if(bFound) 
 {

   m_List.AddString(finder.GetFileName());  }

 in the last line,   error appears, whereas m_List is the member variable for List Control/

and Clistctrl has no member Addstring.

How to access the file name and display in the dialog ??

Depending on what exactly you’re going to achieve, use CListCtrl::InsertItem
or use CListBox instead of CListCtrl. CListBox has AddString method.
