Default Win32 Api Combo Box Noob Question

I have an extension that is a dialog box with two combo boxes.

In my dlgprocess in WM_INITDIALOG:

I'm populating both combo boxes.

I want to try and join, or connect the combobox1 index to combobox2, so when I change combobox 1, combobox 2 changes too.
Code:
//combo1
case IDC_COMBO1: {
	{
		if (HIWORD(wParam) == CBN_SELCHANGE)
		{
			int index = SendDlgItemMessage(g_hwnd, IDC_COMBO2,
				CB_SETCURSEL, (WPARAM)index, (LPARAM)0);

		}

		return 0;
	}
}
Years ago I did this with vb.net like:
Code:
    Private Sub ComboBox2_SelectedIndexChanged(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles ComboBox2.SelectedIndexChanged
        ComboBox1.SelectedIndex = ComboBox2.SelectedIndex
Was wondering if it was possible with just plain win32?
Any help would be appreciated.

Edit:
Got it working. Had to get index first.
Code:
	case IDC_COMBO2: 
	{
		HWND hwndCB1 = GetDlgItem(g_hwnd, IDC_COMBO1);
		HWND hwndCB2 = GetDlgItem(g_hwnd, IDC_COMBO2);

		if (HIWORD(wParam) == CBN_SELCHANGE && (LOWORD(wParam) == IDC_COMBO2))
		{
			int idx;
			idx = SendMessage(hwndCB2, CB_GETCURSEL, 0, 0);
			SendMessage(hwndCB1, CB_SETCURSEL, idx, 0);
			break;
			}
		}


Many Thanks,
Wyatt
