The application is that i am using a TRzCheckList box to set values in records
of a detail table. The items in the box are strings from a lookup table and the
objects would be the numerical value corresponding to each string also from the
lookup table. Then when the user checks or unchecks an item, a record gets
added to or removed from the detail table.
In this case it is a matter of there not being a TrzDBLookupCheckList or
something :)
When I used a Listview in a similar way the Data property of each list item is
just a simple pointer, not an object. I suppose I could just use a TListView
instead, as they do have check boxes, the only issue being that there isn't a
ClickCheck event for the TListView.
