Code snippet is as below:

CXTPControls* pXTPControls = m_myWndToolBar.GetControls();
if (!pXTPControls )
    return false;

  CXTPControlComboBox* pXTPComboBox =(CXTPControlComboBox*)pXTPControls ->FindControl(ID_ZOOM);
   
   if (!pXTPComboBox )
    return false;
 
    CString strZoom;
    pXTPComboBox ->GetEditCtrl()->GetWindowText(strZoom);

The line in the snippet that has been marked as bold causes a crash. I suspect that GetEditCtrl returns NULL( or invalid pointer) which leads to GetWindowText() to crash.

What could be the possible reasons for GetEditCtrl returning invalid pointer?

It could be that the combo box is a drop list in that case it would not have an edit control.  You might want to try something like this:

CXTPControls* pXTPControls = m_myWndToolBar.GetControls();
if (pXTPControls)
    return false;

CXTPControlComboBox* pXTPComboBox =(CXTPControlComboBox*)pXTPControls ->FindControl(ID_ZOOM);
if (!pXTPComboBox)
    return false;

CString strZoom;
CXTPControlComboBoxEditCtrl* pXTPEdit = pXTPComboBox->GetEditCtrl();
if (pXTPEdit)
    strZoom = pXTPComboBox->GetEditText();
else
    strZoom = pXTPComboBox->GetListBoxText();
