I'm working on a program, which should list all files and it's size(for now...). I created a simple application, which should write the data to a listbox. I'm trying to write the data in two columns(the first should be the name, and next to it, in an other column, it's size), but i can't figure out, how should i do this. Can someone help me?
Thanks in advance!

Update:
I try to use ListControl., but unfortunately i can't. I can succesfully compile my App, but i can only see, the empty rectangle. Does someone know what i am doing wrong?
BOOL CGetFileListDlg::OnInitDialog()
{
CDialog::OnInitDialog();
// Set the icon for this dialog. The framework does this automatically
// when the application's main window is not a dialog
SetIcon(m_hIcon, TRUE); // Set big icon
SetIcon(m_hIcon, FALSE); // Set small icon
// TODO: Add extra initialization here
LVITEM lvItem;
LVCOLUMN lvColumn;
int nCol;
lvColumn.mask = LVCF_FMT | LVCF_TEXT | LVCF_WIDTH;
lvColumn.fmt = LVCFMT_CENTER;
lvColumn.cx = 10;
lvColumn.pszText = _T("Filename");
ListView_InsertColumn( m_List, 0, &lvColumn );
ListView_SetItemText( m_List, 0, 0, _T("TEST") );
return TRUE; // return TRUE unless you set the focus to a control
}
The list box control does support multiple columns, but it only supports a single series of entries; the multiple column support just makes the items continue onto the next columns so that vertical scrolling is not necessary.
As Kornel has suggested, a list view control may be more appropriate. After creating a list view control, use ListView_InsertColumn to create the columns. Then use ListView_SetItemText to insert items.
EDIT:
My apoligies; you should use ListView_InsertItem to insert an item (a row) and then use ListView_SetItemText to alter the subitems (columns). If the list view is still just a blank box without any headings, have you initialised common controls? This can be done using InitCommonControlsEx, specifying the ICC_LISTVIEW_CLASSES constant. This should be done before creating the control.
