Anyone can help me with a list view winapi?

See more:

C++

After creating the list view.. items are there i can select them but they have transparent brush or something like that.. and I only see a selection of that item but the item itself isn't there..
Anyone knows why.. ?


I have like 8 hours I look around this code can't figure out why my text doesn't show up..
Maybe I can show you the function the header and the window class I use in my project.

Theese are resource.h, main.cpp and the resource.rc. I took the code that refers to the listview ..sorry my code has 16.000+ lines can't copy all of it

// constants
#define ID_LISTVIEW         1000
#define NUM_ITEMS           30
#define NUM_COLUMNS         2
#define MAX_ITEMLEN         64
#define MAX_SYMBOLS         16
#define MAX_DESCRIPTION     64

// stringtable defines
#define IDS_SYMBOLS         1
#define IDS_DESCRIPTION     2

//Functions from resources.cpp
HWND CreateListView(HWND hWndParent);
LRESULT NotifyHandler(HWND, UINT, WPARAM, LPARAM);

// structures
typedef struct tagABRINFO
{
    char szSymbol[MAX_SYMBOLS];
    char szDescription[MAX_DESCRIPTION];
} ABRINFO;

What I have tried:

Don't know what else to provide.. I wrote this code with another WNDCLASS and it works..
Class Ex is working and the Class W not. Anyone can help me understand why Ex class can I see the items in the list and the W doesn't show up ?..

The example below is almost identical with the one is shown in the MSDN..
