How to Store Dynamically in the List Control of MFC in Visual Studio? - visual-studio-2010

Question

I am working on the dialog based applciation using MFC in visual studio 2010. I used the list control as report type to display . I managed to display some hardcoded data on that output window. Here is the code. what's wrong in the code
void CuserspecificationDlg::OnAdd() // This function add file by clicking on Add button
{
// TODO: Add your control notification handler code here
CFileDialog ldFile(TRUE);
// Show the File Open dialog and capture the result
if (ldFile.DoModal() == IDOK)
{
CStdioFile fileName;
//TCHAR buf[100]; // it is declared in h file
while( fileName.ReadString(buf,99))
{}
fileName.Close();
}
void CuserspecificationDlg::InsertItems()
{
//
list.cx = 100;
list.pszText = "Project"; // this project is the column heading of the dialog
list.iSubItem = 2;
::SendMessage(hWnd ,LVM_INSERTCOLUMN,
(WPARAM)1,(WPARAM)&list);
SetCell(hWnd,"1",0,0);
SetCell(hWnd,buf,0,1); // these 1,G,X,X are the hardcoded entries.
SetCell(hWnd,"G ",0,2);
SetCell(hWnd," X",0,3);
//----- //
}
How to display that buf? It doesnt work . buf is not diplaying the content from file properly. As some characters 1,G and X are visible in the output window but the buf statement doesnt show the characters properly. .. What's wrong in the code.

To add items to a list control, you first need to create a column:
LVCOLUMN lvCol;
lvCol.mask = LVCF_TEXT | LVCF_WIDTH;
lvCol.pszText = L"Column Header Text";
m_CListCtrl.InsertColumn(0, &lvCol);
// ...
You then insert items into the list control of struct type LVITEM
LVITEM item;
item.mask = LVIF_TEXT;
item.pszText = "Column Text";
item.iItem = numItem; // Item number
item.iSubItem = 0; // Sub item number (column number)
m_CListCtrl.InsertItem(&item);
