combo list

[jayjay60]

I would like to know how use the instructions switch, case... with a combo list.
I explain it: If i have names in the combo list, and for each name i want to do different actions, for example just create specific afxmessagebox for each name. I know that the better way to do that is to use the switch command, but as it take only numeric expression how could i solve it?

thanks in advance

Each string in Combo has an index what is its ID. See the notification messages must have them. John Fill

what do you mean by "see the notification messages must have them"

See how are you handle notification messages from your COMBO. In them is contained the index of the string. John Fill

See for example
SendMessage( hWndCombo, CB_GETITEMDATA,itemIDX,0); gets the data of item with index CB_GETITEMDATA John Fill

When you handle WM_COMMAND from your COMBO in wParam or in lParam is containing the handle to combo item. Just use this handle to get the numeric index. John Fill
