Hi dslaporte

I don't know exactly what you asking for.

Are you trying to change the selection programmatically?

You've to use property DropDown.Val

Daniel,

I confused myself again with this...

This issue is, I think, non-converntional Delphi nomencleture.

I hope you dont main me expaning on your explanation for future reference.

DataSource == List of Customers
ListSource == Suburbs List

To link a drop down list to Customers.PostCode

DropDown.DataLink.DataSource := Customers
DropDown.DataLink.ListSource := Suburbs
DropDown.DataLink.FieldName := SRecID <<== Customers.SuburbRecID
DropDown.DataLink.ListSelectFieldName := SuburbRecID <<== Suburbs.SuburbRecID
DropDown.DataLink.ListLookupResultFieldName := SuburbName <<== Suburbs.SuburbName
DropDown.DataLink.ListFieldNames := SuburbName <<== Suburbs.SuburbName

CGD Support, please be free to correct / add / edit this post without reference. For example, how will I have two fields from the list in the drop down.

Regards

Zane

I was looking at this old post, sorry, I believe you sorted it out, since we've been in touch

I just wanted to add this:

We named the property ListFieldNames, on the plurar form, because it's part of DataLink class, and because we want to add multiple column list for dropdown in the future.

And we don't want to change property names in the middle of updates, and provoque breaking changes in the code, in this case, since is a published property, also the .dfm loading process.

Dropdown only will look for the first FieldName of DropDown.DataLink.ListFieldNames.

Best Regards
