Re: ListBox with no selected item

I thought you would want to add strings to the bottom of the edit, just like
a listbox would add lines.
This is how I've done it in the past:

   int TextLength = GetWindowTextLength();
   SetSel(TextLength,TextLength);
   ReplaceSel(Text+"\r\n");

When I have done the edit control route I have created a class called
CAppendEdit which looks like this:
#pragma once

// LSAppendEdit

class CAppendEdit : public CEdit
{
   DECLARE_DYNAMIC(CAppendEdit)

public:
   CAppendEdit();
   virtual ~CAppendEdit();

   void AddString(CString Text);
protected:
   DECLARE_MESSAGE_MAP()
public:
   afx_msg HBRUSH CtlColor(CDC* /*pDC*/, UINT /*nCtlColor*/);
};

// CAppendEdit.cpp : implementation file
//

#include "stdafx.h"
#include "appendedit.h"

// CAppendEdit

IMPLEMENT_DYNAMIC(CAppendEdit, CEdit)
CAppendEdit::CAppendEdit()
{
}

CAppendEdit::~CAppendEdit()
{
}

BEGIN_MESSAGE_MAP(CAppendEdit, CEdit)
   ON_WM_CTLCOLOR_REFLECT()
END_MESSAGE_MAP()

// LSAppendEdit message handlers

HBRUSH CAppendEdit::CtlColor(CDC* /*pDC*/, UINT /*nCtlColor*/)
{
   return (HBRUSH)GetStockObject(WHITE_BRUSH);
}

void CAppendEdit::AddString(CString Text)
{
   int TextLength = GetWindowTextLength();
   SetSel(TextLength,TextLength);
   ReplaceSel(Text+"\r\n");
}
