Combo Box Insert String

Why can't I insert these strings into my combobox?

Code:

	g_hWndFullscreenBox = CreateWindow("combobox", NULL, WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | WS_CLIPCHILDREN | WS_VSCROLL | CBS_DROPDOWNLIST | CBS_OWNERDRAWFIXED, 
		MENU_WIDTH/2-150+100, 50, 200, 25, g_hWndMenu, (HMENU)ID_RESOLUTIONBOX, g_hInstance, NULL);

	SendMessage(g_hWndFullscreenBox, CB_INSERTSTRING, ID_FULLSCREEN_YES, (LPARAM)"Yes");
	SendMessage(g_hWndFullscreenBox, CB_INSERTSTRING, ID_FULLSCREEN_NO, (LPARAM)"No");

 

Whats the error ?

 

No error, I just don't see the strings in the combo box.

 

Are you seeing the combo box correctly?

 

Yes it is.

 

Whats the error code returned with SendMessage

 

They return 0 and 1.

 

Something like this has usually worked for me

Code:

SendMessage(g_hWndFullscreenBox, 
   CB_INSERTSTRING, 
   ID_FULLSCREEN_YES, 
   (LPARAM)(LPCTSTR)"Yes");

the wparam parameter is the index pos... what value have you assigned to ID_FULLSCREEN_YES and or ID_FULLSCREEN_NO? You might also try (WPARAM)-1 to see if it inserts the string at the end of list.

You can always put a desired string in the edit part by using

Code:

SendMessage(g_hWndFullscreenBox, 
   CB_SETCURSEL, 
   desired_index, 
   0);

 

Fixed. Had to increase height to accomodate the whole list of options.
