My sweet combo box...

[NewsArchive]

Hi,

I have a combo box on a custom dialog. I set the string list with
CtrlSetList.

How can I set a default text for this combo??? (CtrlSetText didn't work
with combo)

Something like this should work (replace the YOUR_* in the sample below
with your specific control and dialog Ids)...

HWND hwndDlg, hwndItem,hCtrl;
.......

hwndDlg = CmdGetHwndDlg( YOUR_DIALOG_ID );
hCtrl = GetDlgItem(hwndDlg, YOUR_ID_FOR_COMBOBOX);
nIndex = USER.SendMessageA(hCtrl, CB_FINDSTRING, -1,
"YourDefaultString");
SendMessage(hCtrl, CB_SETCURSEL, nIndex, 0);

You might use CtrlSetCurSel.
