[RESOLVED] Combobox items problem

[james2432]

The items aren't showing up in the combobox and I don't know why.. I've tried with the send message and the combobox macro combobox is there, just not the data

even ComboBox_AddString() doesn't work

#include <windows.h>
#include <windowsx.h>
#define cbEntity	301

switch(msg)
	{
case WM_CREATE:
{

			//Combobox Entity
			hwndcbEntity = CreateWindowEx(0,"Combobox",NULL,WS_CHILD|WS_VISIBLE|LBS_STANDARD,12,12,213,24,hwndex,(HMENU)cbEntity,hInstge,NULL);
			
                  InitializeComboBox(hwndex);
         }
break;
}

void InitializeComboBox(HWND hwnd)
{
	datamanager dm;
	std::vector<std::string> v_oldEnts;
	v_oldEnts=dm.getOld();
	HWND hwndcbEntity= GetDlgItem(hwnd,cbEntity);
	for(UINT i=0;i<v_oldEnts.size();i++)
	{
		int AddIndex;
		char *temp = new char[v_oldEnts[i].size()+1];
		std::strcpy(temp,v_oldEnts[i].c_str());
	//	AddIndex=SendMessage(hwndcbEntity,CB_ADDSTRING,0,(LPARAM)temp);
		//SendMessage(hwndcbEntity,CB_SETITEMDATA,AddIndex,(LPARAM)i);
	//	ComboBox_AddItemData(hwndcbEntity,"test");
                ComboBox_AddItemData(hwndcbEntity,temp);
		
	}	
}

I am not sure it could cause your problem, but LBS_STANDARD is NOT a combobox style. It is a listbox style.

Acutally I found what the problem was.. it's the height of the control. I had it set to something like 24, and when I set it to 100 I can see the items that are inside(without making it look freakishly huge)
