Reading from a file into a combo box

[jdeejay]

Hello all,
I am very new to C++ and Visual C++ and am getting very frustrated with this seemingly easy task. How do I fill in a combo box from a text file? I want to just open the file, grab one line of text at a time and add it to the possiblities in a combo box.

Thanks,

Hi

Here it is:

char szBuffer[255];

CStdioFile f1;

if( !f1.Open( "c:\\document.txt", CFile::modeRead | CFile::shareDenyNone | CFile::typeText))
{
AfxMessageBox( "Oops"

return;
}

while ( f1.ReadString( szBuffer, 255))
{
szBuffer[strlen(szBuffer)-1] = '\0';

m_Combo.AddString( szBuffer);
}

f1.Close();

The reason of the line
szBuffer[strlen(szBuffer)-1] = '\0';
is to remove the CR/LF at the end of each text line
