CComboBox, more than 65535 items

Question

So I created a CComboBox. There are more than 65535 items. When I drag the scroll bar past item number 65535, it shows items earlier in the box. If I let go of the the scrollbar, it jumps up. Other things work, page up, page down, hitting the arrow to scroll down, it's just when I drag the scroll bar when I have that problem.

Answer 1

According to this page:

The combo box returns an int value, which is limited range of 0 to 65535 -- tells us how much capacity that container can hold.

You've hit an integer overflow issue and there isn't anything you can do except have less data or change tools.
