What is the exact message ? It depends on the message.

Do you have access to MSDN ?

Just typing in WM_COMMAND and MSG in the Index will give you all the details you need.

If there is something you do not understand in the explanation, I'd be glad to help you.

I am stressing this just to encourage you to look into MSDN. You need to get into that habit. Once you know how to find, you'll realize that the answers you need are 95% of the time, right there at your finger tips and when you need it. You don't have to go back and forth and you don't have to wait for someone to reply.

Forums like this become a waste when the only thing that happens is provide links to already clearly documented stuff.

I'm sorry if I'm being blunt. But more often than not, I'm doing just this most of the time, punch in the keyword in MSDN and provide the link.

u see that i m trying in the pretranslatemessage the following things

if(pMsg->message == WM_COMMAND)
if(LOWORD(pMsg->wParam) == ID_OF_COMBO)
if ( HIWORD(pMsg->wParam) )
return FALSE;

I m returning false so that this message is not handled.
i am putting break point on the second line but even the clicking on the combobox is not taking me to taht breakpoint

I don't think for a combo you'd need the third check.
Anyways, you say, it doesn't even stop for pMsg->message == WM_COMMAND ?

In which class are you doing this pretranslateMessage ?

Try overriding your CWinApp class' PreTranslateMessage and see if it gets trapped there. Just for checking.

is CLS1 a dialog, and also, is it the parent of the combo box ?

And no, I don't have msgr.
