AddString() fails, WHY???

[Wenrich]

I try to manipulate strings of a combox dropdown list, codes as shown below: ((CComboBox *)GetDlgItem(IDC_COMBOBOX))->DeleteString(1); ((CComboBox *)GetDlgItem(IDC_COMBOBOX))->AddString(CString("hello")); ((CComboBox *)GetDlgItem(IDC_COMBOBOX))->InsertString(-1, CString("hello")); The first line works, but the second and third lines fails (nothing happens there, the program can go on executing). WHY??? So frustrating! Did i need to do something before adding/inserting a string? Thanks a lot!!! Wenrich

your code is OK. what is the return value from AddString? -c

return value from both AddString() and InsertString() is 0; but it's supposed to be inserted at the end, therefore should be some positive value(my combox is not empty). Any more information? Thanks!!!!!!!

You get an error, or only you can not see the strings? Regards Carlos Antollini. Pi Five Creator Sonork ID 100.10529 cantollini

If you haven't already, try doing what you did in CMyDialog::OnInitiateDialog() member function. ralf.riedel@usm.edu
