I have a combobox which I have inserted strings into. I have it so that it recognizes when I hit the box, I just don''t know how to get it to recognize which index item is being selected. How do I set up the case WM_COMMAND: section, or what obvious other thing could I have overlooked (it''s been known to happen )? Thanks in advance; Prairie

The combobox will send a CBN_SELCHANGE as the notify code of the WM_COMMAND message (the notify code is in the high word of WM_COMMANDS WPARAM). You can then use CB_GETCURSEL to get the index of the selected item.

Thanks for the advice, here's the current goal

I have an integer i,
on a CB_SELCHANGE message I then call

i = SendMessage(CategoryCombobox,CB_GETCURSEL,0,0);

I want to do something depending on the index number.

if(i==2)
{
MessageBox(hwnd,"got it","Category",NULL);
}

and that isn't working.

any suggestions??

Thanks again,
Prairie
