CComboBox

[closecall]

how do i get the text from a combobox ? i.e. not in drop down list / what the user types in (and it is not m_combo.GetLBText(-1, strTemp); :-D )

:-D nevermind all, got it done thru: GetDlgItemText(IDC_MYCOMBO, strTemp);

go to Class Wizard and associate the control with category of Value and of Type CString, then through the DDX, you can:

UpdateData();
m_strCombo1; // or whatever you called it - will have the user's typed text
