CCombobox MFC vc++
-
I have created a CCombobox drop down and added three data through wizards and disable editing. I wanted to display some data/word initially in the edit ctrl part of the CCombobox before selecting the data present in the drop down.I having difficulty achieving this, could I have some pointers regarding this. Thanks in advance.

To display some existing (in the combo listbox) item use CComboBox::SetCurSel. To display some arbitrary text you could use SetWindowText method.
Thanks for replying. Yes, I've tried using SetWindowText method. It's not showing in the combo box. What I wanted was when I start my application it shows something like "please select something" before I select anything. For edit ctrl box... We assigned something to the CSting variable and do UpdataData(FALSE).. I wanted to do something similar like this. Thanks again.

Are you doing something like:
m_list.AddString(_T("Item 1"));
m_list.AddString(_T("Item 2"));
m_list.AddString(_T("Item 3"));
m_list.AddString(_T("Item 4"));
m_list.InsertItem(0, _T("please select something"));
...

It does work for me. Perhaps, you used DropdownList combo?

Is that an MFC control?

Yes. I meant the MFC combobox with CBS_DROPDOWNLIST style.

Then you will only able to display a string already inserted in the combo listbox. Use either CComboBox::SelectString or CComboBox::SetCurSel.
