Dephi: Passing a data pointer to a comboboxitem

Question

I want to bind a object to an Item. I allready saw this functionality in TListView, but I couldn't find it in TComboBox. Is there a way to bind an object to a comboBoxItem in delphi? Note that I'm using vcl.

Answer 1

Use AddObject method of combobox Items property.

var
  pt : Pointer;
begin
//...
  myCombobox.Items.AddObject('Some string', pt);

Be aware however, that using this method to store interface pointers is unsafe because it ignores reference counting.
