See if you can read the lines of the box with this previously used
snippet.  I have some doubts about being able to select and item from
*another app*.  And in this case, the combobox is the "property" of
Windows (since it's created by an API), so you may not even be able to
read it.

countmsg=CB_GETCOUNT;
textmsg=CB_GETLBTEXT;

combocount=SendMessage(handle,countmsg,0,0);
if(combocount<1)
 {
 PropListBox->Items->Add(
    "Not a ComboBox or has no contents.");
   return;
   }

for(i=0;i<combocount;i++)
 {
 SendMessage(handle,textmsg,(WPARAM)i,(LPARAM)(LPCTSTR)buff);
 PropListBox->Items->Add(buff);
   }
