insert config in the combobox list item


create a new project. I insert one ComboBox into the project and 1 editbox into the project. then I menambhkan string item in combobox list of items

server 1 au
server 2 uk
server 3 my

after making a string in the combobox then formed a list in combobox. all I want is to add a config in the string. like if i choose server 1 au in the editbox combobox displays the server address as ns.au.server.com

ns.au.server.com server address -> string to server 1 au

combobox1-> select string item-> Server 1 au

editbox1 then displays the address ns.au.server.com


Solution

  • The functionality you ask for is available using TStrings Name-Value pairs.

    type
      TFormMain = class(TForm)
        ComboBox1: TComboBox;
        Edit1: TEdit;
        procedure FormCreate(Sender: TObject);
        procedure ComboBox1Change(Sender: TObject);
      private
    
      public
        FServerConfig : TStrings;
      end;
    
    var
      FormMain: TFormMain;
    
    implementation
    {$R *.dfm}
    
    procedure TFormMain.FormCreate(Sender: TObject);
    var i : integer;
    begin
      FServerConfig := TStringList.Create;
    
      //Add Name = Value pairs
      FServerConfig.Append('Server 1 AU=ns.au.server.com');
      FServerConfig.Append('Server 2 UK=ns.uk.server.com');
      FServerConfig.Append('Server 3 MY=ns.my.server.com');
    
      for i := 0 to FServerConfig.Count - 1 do
        ComboBox1.Items.Append(FServerConfig. Names[i]);
    end;
    
    procedure TFormMain.ComboBox1Change(Sender: TObject);
    begin
      Edit1.Text := FServerConfig.Values[ComboBox1.Text];
    end;
