I need old informmation about a bug in an example program from Ivor Horton's Introduction to Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 Standard Edition (1998). Don't tell me just to buy MSVC++ .NET 2004; it's on order. I'm trying to (re)learn stuff on a deadline, and I can't figure out what's blanking out my data member for an extended combo box.

I just finished the instructions to the second to the last paragraph on page 103. I see where PutDomain stores ".edu" in m_strDomain, yet sometime after that somebody puts the null string in its place. I'm afraid to proceed until I've fixed this bug.

Where is Ivor Horton?

I found my problem. The book said to make the type of the extended combo box a Drop List. I changed it to a Dropdown type, and the program works perfectly.
