[Martin Priebe]

Hello,

informations about controls of a window.

i have a combobox and the handle of it.
then i have the listbox and the edit handle of the combobox.

how can i read out the text of the combobox or listbox.

i tried to use the sendmessage function with "LB_GetText"
but it didn´t works.

And I want to Set the Text ! - or set a item of the listbox.

It's ard to say why it doesn't work when you don't include your code.

To get or change the text of the edit control, WM_GETTEXT / WM_SETTEXT
should work.

Martin,

Have you tried the WM_GETTEXT and WM_SETTEXT windows messages? Also, I
seem to remember that with the combobox, you have to get the handle of the
edit control (textbox) that the combobox hosts.
