Hi
I had problem with my dialog that I create it using
add -> resource -> dialog
then I design it by drop the combo box in it using the tool box available in visual studio
then I put the combo box items by write it in the data label of the combo properties
when I add this dialog to my code the items does not appear
I thought that I have to add it by addString function in the class that handle the dialog but it also did not work
can you help me to fix this problem please

the class that call the dialog:

Code:
