Populating a combobox

[ionutdinulescu]

Hello !
I'm new to Delphi, but I have long experience in VB.
Tell me how can I populate a TComboBox with values of a field
In vb I use ListBox.ItemData to associate a value with it's corresponding ID in the table.
Is there a way to do this in Delphi, or I have to create a sepparate array ?

Can TDBGrid be used with TADODataSource?


Thanks

procedure DoSomethingUseful(Sender : TObject);
var 
  AValue : Integer;
begin
  ...
  MyComboBox.Items.AddObject('Displayed string', TObject(AValue));
  // AValue is now associated to 'Displayed string' object
  // Note: don't add -1 as object :)
  ...
  // Retrieving an object:
  AValue := Integer(MyCombobox.Items.Objects[MyCombobox.Items.Count - 1]);

  ...
end;
