Add an item to a listbox in another running process

I have a running process (not my own) and I want to add an item to a listbox.

I have the handle of the listbox control, can somebody give me some code to add an item to it?

thanks

Oops, sorry, if it's supposed to be the last item, it should be:

SendMessage(hnd, LB_INSERTSTRING,Count,Integer(pc));

Yep... one of the few exceptions where you can send(message) a string to a remote process without first allocating memory in the remote process. You can also just pass (-1) as the index if you want to append to the list (no need to get count)

Thanks, I wasn't aware of that :)

And I just see there's also LB_ADDSTRING.
So zattz, in fact if you already have the LB handle, all you really need is a line like:
SendMessage(hnd, LB_INSERTSTRING,-1,Integer(PChar('TestString')));

or
SendMessage(hnd, LB_ADDSTRING,0,Integer(PChar('TestString')));

Thanks Guys:)

Worked perfectly.

Except that I made a mistake and actually wanted to send to a combobox so I changed LB_ADDSTRING to CB_ADDSTRING
