2 things on selecting: 1. use CB_SELECTSTRING 2. send message of CBN_SELCHANGE to notify window.
the second is important in that many dialogs/windows want that notification to perform other stuff on the window. eg, selecting a printer will change what default/min margins are allowed. Adding one is just a CB_ADDSTRING. You probably want to try a 'select', and if it returns -1, then add it.

Or am I going about what I want to do wrong. I have a Combobox that is populated from a database. What I'm trying to do is to be able to just select the item like normal with a mouse click, or to be able to type in the first few letters and have the matching item selected. I'd also like to be able to enter a non-matching entry that would then be added to the database. Is this possible with a Combobox? Brian Millham [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- avast!
