With csDropDown, the Text property is largely independent of the item
selected in the drop down list. So you could select an item and then type
something that's not in the list. You should use
iIndex := DocEntryDestCB.Items.IndexOf(ImpDestCode);
if iIndex <> -1 then
DocEntryDestCB.Text := DocEntryDestCB.Items[iIndex];

Subject: [DUG]: ComboBox List Index
Hi all
With a TComboBox Style set at csDropDownList you can do:
DocEntryDestCB.ItemIndex :=
DocEntryDestCB.Items.IndexOf(ImpDestCode);
With the Style set at csDropDown, you can't.
Why is this? and is there a way to achieve the same thing - without chaging
the style of the TComboBox?
TIA
Mark
