Howdy,

While the temptation is to just use the string "listview" - well, one does simply use "button" after all, right? This temptation will prove ill-fated.

commctrl.h has a whole bunch of defines for (amongst other things) the strings to be used when requesting a windows control of a particular class.

Whenever I use them, I just use the #defined WC_LISTVIEW. Upon closer inspection, one can see that this is defined as WC_LISTVIEWW, which in turn is #defined as "SysListView32".

So, simply change the TEXT("listview") to TEXT("SysListView32") and you should be ready to rock'n'roll.
