About List-View Controls

I've found this good article Windows Programmierung: List View the explanation is in german language but a google translation together with the code should be enough to understand it. From the article, to create the window:

#include "commctrl.h"

InitCommonControls();
hwndList = CreateWindow(WC_LISTVIEW, "", 
         WS_VISIBLE|WS_BORDER|WS_CHILD | LVS_REPORT | LVS_EDITLABELS, 
         10, 10, 300, 100, 
         hWnd, (HMENU)ID_LIST, hInst, 0);

then it is explained how to create the columns in the method

int CreateColumn(HWND hwndLV, int iCol, char *Text, int iWidth)

how to insert an item (one column)

int CreateItem(HWND hwndList, char *Text)

or insert item with two columns

int Create2ColItem(HWND hwndList, char *Text1, char *Text2)

etc...
