Since this is MFC, see CComboBox::AddString() GetDlgItem() returns a CWnd * , meaning that you need a typecast to CComboBox * .

For example

CComboBox * pCombo = (CComboBox *) GetDlgItem(IDC_COMBO1);
pCombo->AddString("Text");

CComboBox does not have an items property. (CComboBox*)(GetDlgItem(IDC_COMBO1))->AddString("Text");
