Solution 1

Is this an MFC project, or a plain old win32 one?

I ask, because I'm not aware of any mechanism by which a combo-box may be automatically populated with data from a resource file without the use of MFC.

If there's no MFC, in my understanding, you have to add the items yourself - perhaps in a helper funtion you call in response to the WM_INIT or WM_INITDIALOG messages

Ah-hah. Very funny!
No.

Look-up CB_ADDSTRING (And lose the horrible text-speak 'round these parts too, if you don't mind)
PostMessage(hwndCombo, CB_ADDSTRING, NULL, szStringToAdd);
