I'm looking to get the string from a combo box selection.

I was hoping it would work similarly to getting the string from a list box selection but it doesn't look to be that simple. The user cannot enter new text. Combo box styles define specific properties of a combo box. There are also a number of combo box styles that define specific properties. You can combine styles; however, some styles apply only to certain combo box types. For a table of combo box styles, see Combo Box Styles. Would have been nice if I could have swapped out LB_GETTEXT with something like CB_GETTEXT but no such luck :).
