hi all,
I need help Please
I create a Combobox in win32 from c
and i should read frot the combobox and insert to pointr or array.
how i can ???
I create the combobox so :
hwndCombobox = CreateWindow (TEXT("combobox"),
WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE |,
cxChar+ 20, 80,
4 * cxChar, 7 * cyChar / 4,
hwnd, (HMENU) (EDITID+1),
((LPCREATESTRUCT) lParam) -> hInstance, NULL) ;

You can use the message CB_GETLBTEXT to get the text from a combobox; see the message description:
The buffer is a pointer to a buffer that receives the text (should have enought space also for the terminating null character). So if you want to get the combobox item into a pointer you should allocate space for the text and get it using that message. If you don't know how length is the text, you can also use the message CB_GETLBTEXTLEN, see the description:Code:CB_GETLBTEXT wParam = (WPARAM) index; // item index lParam = (LPARAM) (LPCSTR) lpszBuffer; // address of buffer
Code:CB_GETLBTEXTLEN wParam = (WPARAM) index; // item index lParam = 0; // not used; must be zero
So get the length of the item-text, allocate a buffer for it (remember to allocate an extra byte for the terminating character) and get it; now you can keep it as a single pointer or just send it to an array.
Hope that helps

Win32 Tutorials - Combo Boxes
This is a good tutorial site for that.
Did you create it in the .rc (Resource file)?
You cannot call 'CreateWindow()' from a resource file, take a look at the kaliberon posted codeOriginally Posted by binks
The creation mode is not relevant when the point is how to read the content (in that case)

I was refering to this
Code:#include "resource.h" IDD_CONTROLSDLG DIALOG 260, 200, 180, 120 STYLE DS_MODALFRAME | WS_POPUP | WS_CAPTION | WS_SYSMENU CAPTION "Windows Controls" FONT 8, "MS Shell Dlg" BEGIN DEFPUSHBUTTON "Close", IDCANCEL, 120, 100, 50, 14 COMBOBOX IDD_SIZE_CBO, 40, 8, 90, 80END
