hi to all. I want to store two values in combobox, like in html. the first value is what the users can see and the second value is the hidden value which i want to put in the database. for example I have a database table named person with
ID, NAME field. yes i can put the list of name in a combobox but all i want is if the users select a name from list its value is the id which i want to put in the other table.. pls help. thank you……………..

Hi
It's not implemented in ComboBox. I think you can organize it in the program by making an array with hidden values or you can use LookupComboBox…

See the documentation for AddObject method.
You will have to reinterpret_cast (this is C++, sorry I don't know the equivalent in Delphi) the TObject* pointer into your datatype.

If the value you need to store is <= 32 bits then all is fine, otherwise you will have to manage dynamic (de)allocation (in which case it may be easier to maintain a separate array like Sergei explained).
