CListCtrl InsertItem Error

[l46kok]

I have a structure of the following

typedef struct
{
	CString m_csKeyPressed;
	CString m_csCircleColor;
	CString m_csMouseX;
	CString m_csMouseY;
}CircleParameters;

All the data members in the struct are the item and subitems that will be entered subsequently.

I want to be able to insert the item using

CircleParameters param;
param.m_csKeyPressed = "Test";
param.m_csCircleColor= "Test";
param.m_csMouseX= "Test";
param.m_csMouseY= "Test";

m_ListCtrl.InsertItem((LVITEM*)&param);

but it does not work. instead, if I do something like

m_ListCtrl.InsertItem(m_nCircleCount,param.m_csKeyPressed);
m_ListCtrl.SetItemText(m_nCircleCount,1,param.m_csCircleColor);
m_ListCtrl.SetItemText(m_nCircleCount,2,param.m_csMouseX);
m_ListCtrl.SetItemText(m_nCircleCount,3,param.m_csMouseY);

It works.

What am I doing wrong here?

The following won't work because param isn't an LVITEM pointer.

CircleParameters param;
param.m_csKeyPressed = "Test";
param.m_csCircleColor= "Test";
param.m_csMouseX= "Test";
param.m_csMouseY= "Test";

m_ListCtrl.InsertItem((LVITEM*)&param);

The way you are doing it is fine or you can use a virtual list control and handle the OnDispInfo message.
