I am really a beginner with MFC. I just want a few guidelines on how to use a ListCtrl in an SDI application. For example, getting input from the user and displaying it in the listctrl when a button is clicked. Please guide me.

In SDI application I would use CListView-derived class for main view. This class has been designed to be used in SDI/MDI apps and supports standard MFC document-view architecture. The CListView class internally uses CListCtrl, but it does automatic resizing and other handy things, you can also get direct access to embedded list ctrl by calling CListView::GetListCtrl() method that returns CListCtrl*.
