i'm using the predefined combobox class in windows (VC++). it sets up just fine and i can add stings to it. They are actually there, but when i drag down the list, it doesn't show any of them! what am i missing?

char item[] = "HELLO THERE";
combohwnd[0] = CreateWindow("COMBOBOX","",WS_CHILD|CBS_DROPDOWNLIST|CBS_SORT|CBS_HASSTRINGS,0,0,100,20,mainhwnd,1,hGInst,NULL);
SendMessage(combohwnd[0],CB_ADDSTRING,0,(LPARAM)item);

Can't directly answer your question, but...

If you look at the DPCHAT example in DirectPlay, there's some combo box code in there that you could probably look at and hopefully learn from.
