I tried to make it working. I would like to change the border color. Well background and text color - too.

void Combo_Fill(HWND dialog, int id, char const * * strings, size_t count)
{
	int index;
	HWND control = GetDlgItem(dialog, id);
	for (size_t i = 0; i < count; ++i){
		index = Combo_AddStringA(control, *strings++);
		SendMessageA(control, LB_SETITEMDATA, index,
			(LPARAM)(strings));
		}
}
inline LRESULT Combo_AddStringA(HWND control, LPCSTR string)
{
	return SendMessageA(control, CB_ADDSTRING, 0, (LPARAM)string);
}

extern const char *menu_recents[NUM_STARTUP_RECENTS] = { "0", "1", "2", "3", "4" };
extern const char *menu_pages[NUM_STARTUP_PAGES] = { "Messages", "Players", "Global Victory", "Disables", "Map", "Units", "Triggers" };

In order to use a brush or a pen you need the function SelectObject(...):
