        WinSendDlgItemMsg(hWnd, IDC_SOURCE, LM_INSERTITEM,
             MPFROMP(LIT_END), szSource[i]);

 GG> Well, my problem now is, I don't know how to find out what option the
 GG> user has selected from the list.  How do I get that info from the
 GG> program...?

        index=LIT_FIRST;
        char array[100];
        do {
           index=WinSendDlgItemMsg(hWnd, IDC_SOURCE, LM_QUERYSELECTION,
              MPFROMP(index), 0);
           if(index != LIT_NONE) { // found something selected
                WinSendDlgItemMsg(hWnd, IDC_SOURCE, LM_QUERYITEMTEXT,
                    MPFROM2SHORT(index, sizeof(array)),
                    MPFROMP(array));// get the text selected
           }
        } while(index != LIT_NON);


    LM_QUERYSELECTION returns the first item that is selected after
the index.  What you'll have to try is whether the first item is
returned when it is selected.  It should be, but it's better to check.

 GG> Also when I open the dialog box, it doesn't display an initial value
 GG> in the list box, you must always click on the downarrow first to see
 GG> the options, before it displays anything.  How can I overcome that, so
 GG> that it displays the first option in the array as default when I open
 GG> the dialog. 

        You have to update the dialog.  Use:

        WinSendMsg(hWnd, WM_UPDATEFRAME, 0, 0);
