Sorry, in my answer pBar will be invalid. What I meant was that pBar should be a pointer to your previously created dialogbar object.<br />

That did it. &nbsp;Thanks. &nbsp;I knew it would be something simple.<br />

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I am trying to initialize a CComboBox control in a CDialogBar created with the Resource editor. &nbsp;I attach the tool bar to a Child Window in an MDI app. &nbsp;I want to fill the contents of the CboBox when the tool bar is loaded.<br />
<br />
This is how I am trying to do it...<br />
-- inside &nbsp; CMyChildFrm::OnCreate(....<wbr />)<br />
CComboBox* pCombo;<br />
<br />
pCombo = (CComboBox*)GetDlgItem(IDC<wbr />_COMBOBOX)<wbr />;<br />
pCombo-&gt;AddString(&quot;SomeStr<wbr />ing&quot;);<br />
<br />
I am sure I am just overlooking something, what am I doing wrong???<br />
<br />
The assertion error occurs when the pCombo-&gt;AddString(&quot;&quot;) is attempted. &nbsp;It is an Access Violation.<br />
<br />
What is the proper casting and access method?<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />

I am trying to initialize a CComboBox control in a CDialogBar created with the Resource editor.  I attach the tool bar to a Child Window in an MDI app.  I want to fill the contents of the CboBox when the tool bar is loaded.

This is how I am trying to do it...
-- inside   CMyChildFrm::OnCreate(....)
CComboBox* pCombo;

pCombo = (CComboBox*)GetDlgItem(IDC_COMBOBOX);
pCombo->AddString("SomeString");

I am sure I am just overlooking something, what am I doing wrong???

The assertion error occurs when the pCombo->AddString("") is attempted.  It is an Access Violation.

What is the proper casting and access method?

Thanks,
