Then just use SendMessage() to add the info to you ComboBox
You add an items by sending a CB_ADDSTRING message, and you probably would need also a CB_SETITEMDATA message to set an index value.
For instance, you can have:
And in order to get the selected item, you can have:Code:TCHAR *countries[2] = {"Belgium", "Netherlands"}; // or the list from Code_Nerd
int j;
for (j = 0; j < 2; j++) {
SendMessage(hwndcountry, CB_ADDSTRING, (WPARAM)(0), (LPARAM)(countries[j]));
SendMessage(hwndcountry, CB_SETITEMDATA, j, (LPARAM) j);
}
Code:TCHAR selected_country[100];
DWORD i, cur_sel;
cur_sel = SendMessage(hwndcountry, CB_GETCURSEL, 0, 0);
if (cur_sel != CB_ERR) {
i = SendMessage(hwndcountry, CB_GETITEMDATA, cur_sel, 0);
strcpy(selected_country, countries[i]);
}
