The problem is with how you create it.

You passed in a height of 25 which is only enough for the
drop down list to be drawn with a height of one pixel. This
is the cause because there is never enough room for an item
to be drawn so the only value that you'll ever see is -1.

Increase the nHeight parameter to 100 (actually should be
the desired dropdown count * item height).
