sendMessage--> char[260] to long

[MPrestonf12]

What im trying to do is send a string from the find file structure to a listbox. heres the code I am using

SendMessage(listbox,LB_ADDSTRING,NULL, fd.cFileName);

the error I get is:
cannot convert parameter 4 from 'char [260]' to 'long'
This conversion requires a reinterpret_cast, a C-style cast or function-style cast

Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks

It needs an address. Not sure what cd.cFileName is, assuming a LPCSTR

like:

LPCSTR tmp;
//copy the fd.cFileName to tmp pointer

SendMessage(listbox,LB_ADDSTRING,NULL,(LPARAM) tmp);

You don't need the tmp:
SendMessage(listbox,LB_ADDSTRING,NULL, (LPARAM)fd.cFileName);
