#include <GuiCombo.au3>

(123) : ==> Unknown function name.:

_GUICtrlComboAddString($ctrl,$l[$a])

This is something to do with the version 3.2.12 updates.

The example was written using v3.2.8.1.

Errors relating to use of GuiCombo.au3 now seem to have proliferated.

_GuiCtrlComboAddString() is a UDF included with v3.2.8.1

Perhaps someone else can work out what's wrong?
