I am trying to insert strings into a Combo box during a Dialog
init message.  My ListBoxes work just fine but the same syntax
with the exception of 'CB_INSERTSTRING' for 'LB_INSERTSTRING' 
does not.  I have tried both SendMessage and SendDlgItemMessage
to no avail.  I have tried both -1 (append) and a particular
location.
The TurboDebugger shows the code being executed and a valid
position being returned, tests for CB_ERR and CB_ERRSPACE
also indicate NO error.
NOTHING shows up in the combo box controls.
 
Any suggestions about how to proceed?
 
I am going to try the 'LB_' messages and see if they have any
effect.  What the heck?
