CComboBox::SetItemDataPtr

Sets the 32-bit value associated with the specified item in a combo box to be the specified pointer (void*).

int SetItemDataPtr(  
   int nIndex,  
   void* pData  
);

Parameters

  • nIndex
    Contains a zero-based index to the item.

  • pData
    Contains the pointer to associate with the item.

Return Value

CB_ERR if an error occurs.

Remarks

This pointer remains valid for the life of the combo box, even though the item's relative position within the combo box might change as items are added or removed. Hence, the item's index within the box can change, but the pointer remains reliable.

Example

// Set the data pointer of each item to be NULL. 
for (int i = 0; i < m_pComboBox->GetCount(); i++)
{
   m_pComboBox->SetItemDataPtr(i, NULL);
}
