C++ win32 ListView columns - c++

Question

I have a problem with my code.
First,the essence of this code is to create a ListView with some columns, using win32.
The problem is when I try to add columns to my ListView and try to display it doesn't show me the columns. Here is my code, thanks for any help.
HWND function::CreateListView (HWND hwndParent)
{
INITCOMMONCONTROLSEX icex; // Structure for control initialization.
icex.dwICC = ICC_LISTVIEW_CLASSES;
InitCommonControlsEx(&icex);
RECT rcClient;
// The parent window's client area.
GetClientRect (hwndParent, &rcClient);
HWND hWndListView = CreateWindow(WC_LISTVIEW, "ViewList",WS_BORDER| WS_CHILD | LVS_REPORT | LVS_EDITLABELS,500,300,300,300,hwndParent,NULL,hInst,NULL);
return (hWndListView);
}
VOID function::SetView(HWND hWndListView, DWORD dwView)
{
// Retrieve the current window style.
DWORD dwStyle = GetWindowLong(hWndListView, GWL_STYLE);
// Set the window style only if the view bits changed.
if ((dwStyle & LVS_TYPEMASK) != dwView)
{
SetWindowLong(hWndListView,
GWL_STYLE,
(dwStyle & ~LVS_TYPEMASK) | dwView);
} // Logical OR'ing of dwView with the result of
}
BOOL InitListViewColumns(HWND hWndListView)
{
char szText[256] ="test"; // Temporary buffer.
LVCOLUMN lvc;
int iCol;
// Initialize the LVCOLUMN structure.
// The mask specifies that the format, width, text,
// and subitem members of the structure are valid.
lvc.mask = LVCF_FMT | LVCF_WIDTH | LVCF_TEXT | LVCF_SUBITEM|LVS_REPORT;
// Add the columns.
for (iCol = 0; iCol < C_COLUMNS; iCol++)
{
lvc.iSubItem = iCol;
lvc.pszText = "LOL";
lvc.cx = 100; // Width of column in pixels.
if ( iCol < 2 )
lvc.fmt = LVCFMT_LEFT; // Left-aligned column.
else
lvc.fmt = LVCFMT_RIGHT; // Right-aligned column.
// Load the names of the column headings from the string resources.
LoadString(hInst,iCol,szText, sizeof(szText)/sizeof(szText[0]));
// Insert the columns into the list view.
if (ListView_InsertColumn(hWndListView, iCol, &lvc) == -1)
return FALSE;
}
return TRUE;
}

Answer 1

You forgot to specify the WS_VISIBLE style when calling CreateWindow to create the listview. The listview and the columns are there, just not visible.
The buffer you pass to LoadString is never used because you never set lvc.pszText = szText so all the columns are named "LOL".
Edit: My answer applies to the code after it had been edited with fixes from the comments. LVS_REPORT is still not a valid LVCF_* flag but because it has the same value as LVCF_FMT it does no harm in this particular code but should still be removed because the code is technically incorrect.
