As seems, you are using VS2005. This code works fine with small modification

CString names[3];
names[0] = "Joe";
names[1] = "Billy";
names[2] = "Bob";

    for(int i=0;i<=2;i++)
m\_combo.AddString(names\[i\]);

If you have entered string there, it should be semicolon(;) separated.

No semicolon is required. :confused:

Exactly how are you verifying this?

In original post, he mentioned setting data using DATA field in properties window. There you have to insert data (;) separated. Let's say I want to display three items added initialy viz. "tom","dick" and "harry", you can add it in DATA field with (;) as separator; as "tom;dick;harry"

No you don't. Each item goes on a separate line. No semicolon is required. This is in the context of VC++ v6.

Is the combobox "tall" enough? The default height is way too small.
