Get the list from from iexplorer combo box

[ME]

I need to be able to get the list from a combobox using PInvoke. This code
works fine for a windows form application however I need to read the
combobox that is on an HTML page (inside iexplorer, the class name for the
box is "Internet Explorer_TridentCmboBx" ). When I read the combobox from
IE it will accurately get the count, but the text of each item returns non
printable ascii characters.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,

Matt
