CComboBox::AddString

int AddString( LPCTSTR lpszString );

Return Value

If the return value is greater than or equal to 0, it is the zero-based index to the string in the list box. The return value is CB_ERR if an error occurs; the return value is CB_ERRSPACE if insufficient space is available to store the new string.

Parameters

lpszString

Points to the null-terminated string that is to be added.

Remarks

Adds a string to the list box of a combo box. If the list box was not created with the CBS_SORT style, the string is added to the end of the list. Otherwise, the string is inserted into the list, and the list is sorted.

To insert a string into a specific location within the list, use the InsertString member function.

Example

// The pointer to my combo box.
extern CComboBox* pmyComboBox;

// Add 20 items to the combo box.
CString str;
for (int i=0;i < 20;i++)
{
   str.Format(_T("item string %d"), i);
   pmyComboBox->AddString( str );
}
