ComboBox_AddString macro (windowsx.h)

Adds a string to a list in a combo box. If the combo box does not have the CBS_SORT style, the string is added to the end of the list. Otherwise, the string is inserted into the list and the list is sorted. You can use this macro or send the CB_ADDSTRING message explicitly.
