Set items of Combo Box

[devrandom 0]

What's wrong with this code? It doesn't add any item...

combo_prof = CreateWindow (
                            "COMBOBOX",
                            "",
                            WS_CHILD|
                            WS_VISIBLE|
                            CBS_DROPDOWNLIST|
                            CBS_HASSTRINGS,
                            10,
                            30,
                            320,
                            20,
                            window,
                            COMBO_PROF,
                            hInstance,
                            NULL
                        );

    SendMessage(combo_prof, CB_ADDSTRING, 0, "test");
    SendMessage(combo_prof, CB_ADDSTRING, 0, "test2");

Are you attempting to take a c++ course in this forum?

You are not very nice. If you haven't the answer, then simply don't answer

Perhaps it was a rhetorical question. Saying an MvP is not very nice, when he has posted 4195 responces in General Help and Support, carries no weight at all, not with anyone. I don't personally know the answer to your question, but nobody is going to help you if you react this way. Edited June 13, 2011 by czardas

I'm just kidding, I put a "" at the end of the post.

[czardas 1,168]

Okay, I'll take your word for it. Such things can be easily misconstrued.

Yeah, you're right. I'm sorry.

But there was a serious element to GEOSoft's post... We don't put a cap on how many questions you can ask, but then again, we have never had someone start 5 or 6 threads in the space of a few days in the dev section. This section tends to discuss more complex AutoIt related matters, as there are loads of other forums dedicated to other languages. You will get more help from them.

In answer to the question:

Are you using unicode or ansi? That could be a problem. The msdn page for CB_ADDSTRING has a user submitted comment that might be of interest to you if you are using CB_ADDSTRING inside the WM_CREATE handler.

I'm sending the message after the ComboBox is made, I think. I tried to add a button, and to add the strings after pressing that button but it didn't work.

This sums it up well. The threads you created in this forum are now locked. Asking a C++ question or two is fine but asking 4 in the span of a few minutes all of which demonstrate a clear lack of understanding of the Windows API is just too much. I suggest you try reading some documentation instead of looking for handouts on the forum.
