Probs with CListCtrl in report view

How do I insert text into the columns of a list control which is in report view.

I'm trying this function:
int InsertItem( const LVITEM* pItem);

LVITEM is the following struct which "specifies or receives the attributes of a list view item".

typedef struct _LVITEM {
UNIT mask;
int iItem;
int iSubItem;
UNIT state;
UNIT stateMask;
LPTSTR pszText;
int cchTextMax;
int iImage;
LPARAM lParam;
#if (_WIN32_IE>= 0x0300)
int iIndent;
#endif
} LVITEM, FAR *LPLVITEM;

Firstly, is this the right way to go about inserting text into the columns? Does each piece of text have one of these structures associated with it?

Secondly, when I try and compile this I get the following error on the line with UNIT mask:

"error C2059 : syntax error : 'constant'

do you know what causes this?

Hi DevonportA1,

InsertItem is the correct way to insert text of first column, to insert text to further
columns you'll have to use CListCtrl::SetItemText(). Be aware that you have to
first insert the columns with CListCtrl::InsertColumn().

Maybe you'll find some other implementations of CListCtrl::InsertItem() easier to
use then the shown one.

About the error: could you post the exact code where this error occurs?

hope that helps,
