Sorry about that one. I was looking at the CListCtrl at the time and thought
I was looking at the CComboBox. My mistake there.

The properties in the dialog editor for the combo box is set to Drop List. I
think (but am not positive) that that is CBS_DROPDOWNLIST style.
I just need to set the text of the combo box when the drop down is not
present to be a certain string that is dependant on the user action; and for
the time being, I'd rather not have to deal with the user editing that text
box.
