How can I detect a TsDBLookupComboBox's “Text” has changed?

Is there a way to access the text shown in the combo? (would be a nice read only property to add to the component… an OnChange event too 🙂

TIA,

Ronaldo

Hello

I think, you should use standard ways for this, I mean the DataSource.OnChange event or your DBField.OnChange event.

This event fires way too many times in my case, even before the fields get fully defined, so I ended up with a rather simple solution:

Code:

//VERY simplified pseudo-code
procedure TForm1.sDBLookupComboBoxOnClick(Sender: TObject);
begin
if (Table1Item.AsString fLastItem)
then begin
fLastItem := Table1Item.AsString; //save for next check
ShowMessage('ITEMS ARE DIFFERENT!')
end;
end;

Best regards,
