title: Adding item to a Dropdown box (using CB_STRING), starting from char array
body: <p>I have been trying to populate a dropdown box using data from a char array</p>
  
  <pre><code>char state[100][100];
  char states[100];
  char *test[1];
  
  
  //FILL ARRAYS
  char state[0][0] = 't'  
  states[1] = state[0][0]   
  test[1] = "CALIFORNIA";
  
  
  SendMessage(hwnd2,CB_ADDSTRING,0,(LPARAM) states[1]); //wont add db item
  </code></pre>
  
  <p><strong>HOWEVER, the following will fill the Dropdown BOX:</strong></p>
  
  <pre><code>SendMessage(hwnd2,CB_ADDSTRING,0,(LPARAM) test[1]); //db item added  WORKS
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I'm using MSVS 2010.  My goal is to transfer from a <strong><em>2d array to a 1d array</em></strong>, so that I can use CB_ADDSTRING to populate items in a DROPDOWN BOX.  Can someone please tell me what's going on?   Much appreciated.   </p>
