TIWComboBox - denville - 11-29-2020
XE7 15-0-22
Forgive me for asking again.
When a user selects an item from the drop-down list, I need to put something different in the edit eg if the user selects TODAY then I might put 29/11/2020 in the box. I have experimented with ItemsHaveValues but this does not seem to do anything other than present only the name of name=value (ok) but name also goes into the box.
Thanks.

When you said the "edit" you mean the edit box from the same combobox control, I suppose??
I don't think there is a simple way to do that using a standard combobox because they are not meant to work like this. Whaterver they display needs to be part of the list.

Yes, I meant the box. Many thanks for the info. I just wondered what the ItemsHaveValues check does, nothing useful as far as I can see.

I got round it by placing an Edit on top of the combo box.
