Windows CE supports a new extended style for combo boxes, CBS_EX_CONSTSTRINGDATA. When an application inserts a string into the list part of a combo box that has this style, the combo box stores the pointer passed to it by the application rather than copying the string. This saves RAM resources when you have a large table of strings in ROM that you want to insert into a combo box..
All combo boxes in Windows CE have the LBS_HASSTRINGS style by default.
Windows CE does not support the CBS_SIMPLE, CBS_OWNERDRAWFIXED, or CBS_OWNERDRAWVARIABLE styles.
For more information on supprted combo box styles, see the Window and Control Styles chapter of the Windows CE SDK Guide.
