(i) hwnd ComboBox handle from a cWndBy... function.
(s) selected-text: the text currently displayed in the upper portion of the control
This function is used to obtain the selected item of a Combo Box control. The selected item is the item displayed in the upper portion of the control and unlike other controls the selected item may not always have the system selection color as the item’s background color. The returned string contains the text of the selected item or an empty string, if no item is selected.
The function may error or return an unexpected result, if the combo box has the owner-drawn style; is not based on a Windows operating system window class; or is a sub-classed control.
