The state member variable of the LVITEM structure specifies what to do with the new

item. For example, once the item has been added, you may want to prepare it for deletion

prior to a cut-and-paste operation, in which case you would give it a value of

LVIS_CUT. If the item is involved in a drag-and-drop operation, you can assign it a state

value of LVIS_DROPHILIGHTED. To give focus to the item, set its state value to

LVIS_FOCUSED. An item with an LVIS_SELECTED state value will be selected.

Besides the above version of the CListCtrl::InsertItem() method, the CListCtrl class

provides this other version:

int InsertItem(int nItem, LPCTSTR lpszItem );

This is a good simplification of the earlier version. The nItem argument is the index of

the new item to de added. Like the LVITEM::iItem member variable, the value of this
