Well... you're asking in the wrong place. comp.lang.c++ is for discussing
the Standard C++ language, which has no concept of Windows or combo boxes.
You'd be better off asking in a Microsoft newsgrop dedicated to Win32 API
programming.

Yes. You're posting to a wrong newsgroup. This one is about
C++ language, you need comp.os.ms-windows.programmer.
