[Lazarus] DBComboBox

["Arí Ricardo Ody"]

Hi Michael!

 I beg your pardon but I don't understand your explanation about DBComboBox and DBLookupComboBox. I only want to show a list of codes contained in a SQLite 3 SQL table column and select one them.

 About the rx 1.0: I install it via Package|Install/Uninstall packages, uninstall and install again and can't find new Data Controls(twice) in my 0.9.30 Ide.

 Cheers

 Ricardo

None lines are showed, in the both situations. You should connect it with the LookupSource (or is it ListSource?) property, not the datasource property. LookupDBCombobox has 2 datasources: DataSource : A datasource which contains the value to be shown (the value you edit). Datafield is the value of the field. LookupSource: A datasource with the list of values to select from. If you select a value from the list, it will be written in the Datasource dataset's 'DataField' field. If you just want to select a value from a dataset but not write it to a dataset field , you cannot use DBComboBox or LookupDBCombobox. Both these components are meant to write into a field from a dataset. I believe the RX package has a lookupedit which allows you simply to select a value from a lookup dataset, without writing it to another dataset. Michael.
