There is a bug in ATL when creating a dialog resource with a combobox that contains string initialization data. The problem is the strings do not appear in the combobox at runtime, but work in dialog test mode. This problem does not appear with MFC, because MFC recognizes this as a problem and fixes it the call to OnInitDialog in the function ExecuteDlgInit. The basic problem lies in combobox resource data being initialized with old message IDs. The code below fixes this problem if called from your WM_INITDIALOG function. This code was hoisted from the MFC source files and is changed to be ATL friendly.
Place in your dialogbox code:
LRESULT CMyDialog::OnInitDialog(UINT uMsg, WPARAM
wParam, LPARAM lParam, BOOL& bHandled)
{
ExecuteDlgInit( m_hWnd, MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDD) );
return 1;
}
