Combobox Control(interface design)

Hi,
  I am at present doing a project in VC. I want to have a control, like a chat box,where whatever u type in a small text box can be exhibited in the larger one.
 I found out that combobox can be used for it,with its styles attribute set to simple.But i am not able to store whatever i type in the smaller text box and display in the larger one.
Any of u please help me in this regard.

Thanx,
Thiru

Hi thirumaran,

You can retrieve the edit control's text with CWnd::GetWindowText() and add to combo box with CComboBox::AddString().
