combo box items doesn't appear created in MFC project using VS2010

[EDN Admin]

Hi <br/>
I had problem with my dialog that I create it using <br/>
add -> resource -> dialog<br/>
then I design it by drop the combo box in it using the tool box available in visual studio<br/>
then I put the combo box items by write it in the data label of the combo properties<br/>
when I add this dialog to my code the items does not appear<br/>
I thought that I have to add it by addString function in the class that handle the dialog but it also did not work<br/>
can you help me to fix this problem please<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
the class that call the dialog:<br/>
