Re: combox

Hello.


Yes, an example

procedure Form1_OnShow (Sender: string; Action: string);
begin
   Form1.ComboBox1.Clear; 
   Form1.ComboBox1.dbAddRecord (1, 'Item 1');
   Form1.ComboBox1.dbAddRecord (2, 'Item 2');
end;
Dmitry.

Hi Manixs,


Check out the post #1 attachment which may help.
http://myvisualdatabase.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=3970

It contains these type of combo boxes on frmEmployee. Notice Edit1 and Edit2 textboxes. They are the ones holding combo values in table. I have two of them as I used two combos. Please ignore all the other script mainly relating to font change.
EHW has kindly provided the original solution for me sometimes ago.

Actually you can show data in combobox without using script or foreign key. Just specify in the property ForeignKey table name. But you can't save selected item to database, because as you said you don't have foreign key, I think you doing something wrong.
