As seems, you are using VS2005. This code works fine with small modification

CString names[3];
 names[0] = "Joe";
 names[1] = "Billy";
 names[2] = "Bob";

     for(int i=0;i<=2;i++)
 m_combo.AddString(names[i]);

If you have entered string there, it should be semicolon(;) separated.

No semicolon is required. Confused | :confused:

In original post, he mentioned setting data using DATA field in properties window. There you have to insert data (;) separated.

Let's say I want to display three items added initialy viz. "tom","dick" and "harry", you can add it in DATA field with (;) as separator; as "tom;dick;harry"

No you don't. Each item goes on a separate line. No semicolon is required. This is in the context of VC++ v6.

Is the combobox "tall" enough? The default height is way too small.

That would be overkill.

Many times such products(I'm not sure about AutoCad though) are cross-platform.
For extensibility they provide there interfaces,API's, or scripting language.
And there interface provides such functionalities like MessageBox. He need to look in to there SDK help.

In case of Windows platform. He can use suggestion by christian Graus.
But its always better to use API's given by Products development kit.

Yes, if they do so it would always be the better option to go ahead with.

Are you already using a framework that allows you to write code that runs inside AutoCAD ? Or are you just writing a stand alone program at this point ? It seems to me that if you have access to AutoCAD via a COM library or something, then you should get all the facilities you need from there.

Having said that, if you're already inside AutoCAD, you just need to make the main HWND of AutoCAD the owner of a call to MessageBox.

The first parameter of MessageBox is a HWND. If you pass the HWND of AutoCAD, then the message box will have the AutoCAD window as it's parent.
