Hi,

This is a simple question for those of you that use the JPTUI 
interface libraries.

I have created my interface, no probs. However I need to read in a 
file line by line and add each line to a JPTUI listbox.

Here is the code for adding items manually:

TListItem     ListBoxItems[]= {
  {"Item 1",LI_NOATTR},
  {"Item 2",LI_NOATTR},
  {"Item 3",LI_NOATTR},
  {NULL,LI_NOATTR}
};
TListBox     ListBox (&MainWindow,2,2,20,10,"List Bo~x",ListBoxItems);

I presume that I need to fill ListBoxItems[] with each line from my 
file, however I think that may eat memory (as my text file is quite 
large) so loading it directly into the listbox might be a better option.

However I'm only a beginner with C++, I'd really apreciate some help 
with this one as I'm pretty clueless as to where to go from here.

I'm using JPTUI 3.xx.

Thanks in advance, Tim Lloyd.
