lParam Pointer to the buffer that receives the string. The buffer must have sufficient space for the string and a terminating null character. With your 100 TCHARS you might or might not be ok.

True, It is just a quick fix.

Again, small correction here, need to allocate memory on heap.
```
 TCHAR \*buff = new TCHAR\[nIndx+1\];
::SendMessage(hCombo,CB\_GETLBTEXT,(WPARAM)0,(LPARAM)buff);
//use delete \[\] buff; after use
```

"We trained hard, but it seemed that every time we were beginning to form up into teams we would be reorganised. I was to learn later in life that we tend to meet any new situation by reorganising: and a wonderful method it can be for creating the illusion of progress, while producing confusion, inefficiency and demoralisation." -- Caius Petronius, Roman Consul, 66 A.D.
