I typically store the strings for the combo box in a CStringArray and pass a
reference to it to the pop-up dialog and then, as Scott suggested, initilize
the control in the OnInitDialog() function in dialog B. You can retrieve
the result the same way using a variable that gets set when the combo box
selection changes. The variable will persist even after the dialog (B) is
closed so you can retrieve it after.

Hi,

First, your probably not familiar with Control variables.
http://www.flounder.com/getdlgitem.htm
I have not used GetDlgItem(IDC_TESTBOX) in years.
So, it behooves you to learn to use control variables instead.

Then, this is what you do.
Dlg.m_Combo.SetItem()

I don't like doing it that way,
instead, I have a private member variable

private:
CCombobox m_Combo;
public:
CComboBox* GetComboBox() { return & m_Comb; }

Then, I do this instead.
Dlg.GetCombo()->SetItem()

HTH,

Lets say I have dialog A. On dialog A, I have a button that opens Dialog
B.
I want to be able
to set the control values of a combo box of values from Dialog A.

I tried setting them before the doModal(), but I keep getting assertion
errors.

emailDLG dlg;
CComboBox* test = (CComboBox*)dlg.GetDlgItem(IDC_TESTBOX);
test->AddString("test1"):
test->AddString("test2"):
if (dlg.DoModal() !=IDCANCEL) {
.
...
.....

Thanks in advance!

Scott
