How Do I Get Combo Box Control To Show New Value After Setcursel()

Question

This should be really simple.

C++

m_combo1.SetCurSel(1);
... other controls set ...

if (m_combo1.GetCurSel() == 1)
{
m_combo2.SetCurSel(3);
}
else
{
m_combo2.SetCurSel(0);
}

UpdateData(FALSE);

If UpdateData(FALSE) then the controls before the IF statement show the expected values and m_combo2 is unchanged.

If UpdateData(TRUE) then the controls before the IF statement are empty and m_combo2 is updated with the new selection.

How do I get all the controls to show the expected values?

read the Msdn http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/t9fb9hww.aspx[^]

UpdateData(FALSE) //is loading the values from code to GUI

in DoDataExchange() http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/x4d0y489.aspx[^]

i guess you need

C++

UpdateData(TRUE);
//set other controls
UpdateData(TRUE);
