Some other alternatives are: 1. SomeListItem.Data := TObject(MyIntegerID) where MyIntegerID is the key value of your database record, you can then do Integer(SomeListItem.Data) to retrieve it back. 2. SomeListItem.SubItems.Add(IntToStr(MyIntegerID)) and make this column invisible, then you can StrToInt() it back, this way you can store many extra columns of info onto the TListView (just not showing them).

In vb a Listview object has an Itemdata property which can be used to store the key value of the listitem which has been read from a database. This seems to be used in Delphi to hold a pointer to the Listobject. Is there a really simple way to assign an integer to the itemdata property - so I can basically have the same functionality as the vb Listbox (ie store the Text and the ID for the List Item)? Or am I using the wrong component (cannot use DBLookupList b/c the user needs to select multiple rows). Seems simple enough - but before wading through how Itemdata property is used in the VCL I thought I would ask.

I am ownerdrawing a listview, BUT because of this, I need to draw the focus on the selected item, i.e. the selected back ground etc. Can anyone tell me how to go about it? I mean , I now HOW to do it, but rather I need to know WHERE to initiate it etc. Thanks, Jeremy Coulter --------------------------------------------------------------------------- New Zealand Delphi Users group - Delphi List - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Website: http://www.delphi.org.nz To UnSub, send email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] with body of "unsubscribe delphi" --------------------------------------------------------------------------- New Zealand Delphi Users group - Delphi List - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Website: http://www.delphi.org.nz To UnSub, send email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] with body of "unsubscribe delphi" --------------------------------------------------------------------------- New Zealand Delphi Users group - Delphi List - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Website: http://www.delphi.org.nz To UnSub, send email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] with body of "unsubscribe delphi" --------------------------------------------------------------------------- New Zealand Delphi Users group - Delphi List - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Website: http://www.delphi.org.nz To UnSub, send email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] with body of "unsubscribe delphi"
