Hi Jesper,
The ComboBox Items is a Tstrings derivative and can take both a string
for display and an object, so you could for instance call
ComboBox.Items.AddObject('A Title',TObject(Tlist[I])) for each item in
your Tlist, that way even if the list is sorted you can access the
object using ComboBox.Items.Objects[ComboBox.ItemIndex] for the selected
item.
Hope this helps

Subject: Objects from a TList into a TCombobox
Hi all.
I have a TList with a bunch of objects and I want to use a ComboBox to
display them and let the user select the object to work with.
Getting the information into the combo is of course no problem but what
is the smartest way to keep the connection between an item in the combo
and the object in the TList?
If I have a TListView instead it's much easier. Just use the property
"Data" on the TListItem that is added and let it point to the object in
the TList.
Of course I can use the index of the selected item in the combo and then
pick out the item with the corresponding index in th TList, but what if
the combobox is sorted?
Is there an easy, smart and nice way to do this?
//Jesper
