GetDlgItemText in an derived CComboBox

[mesajflaviu]

I try to make an CComboBoxExt derived from CCOmboBox . In

void CComboBoxExt::OnEditchange()
{
// TODO: Add your control notification handler code here

CString sText;
GetDlgItemText(this?,sText);
ShowDropDown();

}

I try to retrive the text that user entered in combobox , and if text is not empty show drop down list , if is empty then hide drop down list .. but I stuck on GetDlgItemText method : how can I retrieve the text that user entered ? Can you help me please ? Thank you !

To retrieve text from the edit box of the CComboBox, use GetWindowText(). To retrieve text from the listbox, use GetLBText().

Best wishes, Hans
