I got a null terminated char string holding a filename (8.3 format).
I have a checkbox and i want it to display the file in the char var as the current selection.

char CurConfigSchemeFile[20];
SendMessage(CBChooseConfigScheme, CB_SELECTSTRING, -1, (LPARAM)(LPCTSTR)CurConfigSchemeFile);

Nothing happens... I can see the file is there when I open the CB droplist. I also know that CurConfigSchemeFile is holding the file name correctly through a MessageBox that is displaying it.

Anyone got any idea what is the problem here?

What if i declare the char var like this:

char CurConfigSchemeFile[20], *lpCurConfigSchemeFile;

Would I be fitting what windows want correctly?

Thanks for your time :)

  Oh crap, you know I am talking about a damned ComboBox, not a CheckBox... I just need some more coffee...
