I have a listctrl within my dialog box, yet have tried many times to highlight the first item in the list ( index 0 ).

I place the functions in the OnInitdialog part of my code,yet still i have had no success.

I have currently tried

m_List.SetItemState( 0, LVIS_SELECTED | LVIS_FOCUSED, LVIS_SELECTED | LVIS_FOCUSED);

m_List.EnsureVisible( 0, FALSE);

Someone please tell me what I am doing wrong.
