I was working on a program for spanish where I want to input the spanish and english and then the programputs the words in 2 listboxes when "ADD" is clicked. Here is my code and it does compile so you can kind of get an idea of what I want but the english portion doesn't go to it's listbox. Sorry if I'm still unclear, compile and run this code to see what I mean.
Here is the CPP file
#include <windows.h>
#include "resource.h"
BOOL CALLBACK DlgProc(HWND hwnd, UINT Message, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)
{
switch(Message)
{
case WM_INITDIALOG:
// This is where we set up the dialog box, and initialise any default values
SetDlgItemText(hwnd, IDC_TEXT, "Spanish");
SetDlgItemText(hwnd, IDC_OTEXT, "English");
break;
case WM_COMMAND:
switch(LOWORD(wParam))
{
case IDC_ADD:
{
int nTimes = 1;
// Then we get the string they entered
// First we need to find out how long it is so that we can
// allocate some memory
int len = GetWindowTextLength(GetDlgItem(hwnd, IDC_TEXT));
int len2 = GetWindowTextLength(GetDlgItem(hwnd, IDC_OTEXT));
if(len > 0 && len2 > 0)
{
// Now we allocate, and get the string into our buffer
int i;
char* buf;
buf = (char*)GlobalAlloc(GPTR, len + 1);
GetDlgItemText(hwnd, IDC_TEXT, buf, len + 1);
// Now we add the string to the list box however many times
// the user asked us to.
for(i = 0;i < nTimes; i++)
{
int index = SendDlgItemMessage(hwnd, IDC_LIST, LB_ADDSTRING, 0, (LPARAM)buf);
// Here we are associating the value nTimes with the item
// just for the heck of it, we'll use it to display later.
// Normally you would put some more useful data here, such
// as a pointer.
SendDlgItemMessage(hwnd, IDC_LIST, LB_SETITEMDATA, (WPARAM)index, (LPARAM)nTimes);
}
// Dont' forget to free the memory!
GlobalFree((HANDLE)buf);
buf = (char*)GlobalAlloc(GPTR, len2 + 1);
GetDlgItemText(hwnd, IDC_OTEXT, buf, len2 + 1);
// Now we add the string to the list box however many times
// the user asked us to.
for(i = 0;i < nTimes; i++)
{
int index = SendDlgItemMessage(hwnd, IDC_OLIST, LB_ADDSTRING, 0, (LPARAM)buf);

SendDlgItemMessage(hwnd, IDC_OLIST, LB_SETITEMDATA, (WPARAM)index, (LPARAM)nTimes);
}

}

// of selected items

int count = SendMessage(hList, LB_GETSELCOUNT, 0, 0);
if(count != LB_ERR)
{

{
// And then allocate room to store the list of selected items.
int i;
int *buf = GlobalAlloc(GPTR, sizeof(int) * count);

// Now we loop through the list and remove each item that was
// selected.
// WARNING!!!
// We loop backwards, because if we removed items
// from top to bottom, it would change the indexes of the other
// items!!!
