Question

Delphi - Setting selected item in DBLookupCombo at design time

Asked by: gamutgroup

I have a picklist which is a TDBLookupComboBox with its (lookup) list attached to a populated dataset.

When the combo box is first displayed, I want the app to select the first item in the list rather than waiting for user to select an item. I do not know at design time what the contents of the lookup list will be other than it will not be empty.

Is it possible to programatically select an item from the list rather than relying on user input?

use the AfterInsert event of the dataset to set any intial fields in the inserted record

if you want the first record, then you may need to execute a separate query to know which is first
this will also depend on sorting

>>ccupo
for inserting a record, the after edit does not get fired

 

by: Geert_GruwezPosted on 2009-07-13 at 05:21:01ID: 24838961

>>ccupo
i tested it with below code :
even when editing a empty dataset , only the after insert will fire, not after edit

procedure TForm2.cdsAfterEdit(DataSet: TDataSet);
begin
  cds.FieldByName('cdsDescrId').AsInteger := 2;
  Memo1.Lines.Add('After Edit');
end;
 
procedure TForm2.cdsAfterInsert(DataSet: TDataSet);
begin
  cds.FieldByName('cdsDescrId').AsInteger := 1;
  Memo1.Lines.Add('After insert');
end;
 
procedure TForm2.FormCreate(Sender: TObject);
begin
  cdsSub.Active := True;
  cdsSub.AppendRecord([1, 'Test Descr 1']);
  cdsSub.AppendRecord([2, 'Test Descr 2']);
  cdsSub.AppendRecord([3, 'Test Descr 3']);
  cdsSub.AppendRecord([4, 'Test Descr 4']);
  cds.Active :=True;
end;

I want the app to select the first item in the list
<SNIP>
Is it possible to programatically select an item from the list rather than relying on user input?
[/quote]

To set the lookup list to the first items you have to do this:
  DBLookupCombo1.ListSource.Dataset.First;
 

 

by: senadPosted on 2009-07-19 at 17:26:07ID: 24891742

set combos itemindex property to '0' or you can do it in code....

 

by: senadPosted on 2009-07-19 at 17:34:16ID: 24891756

Here is an example :

procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
begin
table1.open;
dblookupcombobox1.ListSource.DataSet.First;
dblookupcombobox1.KeyValue :=
dblookupcombobox1.ListSource.DataSet.FieldValues[dblookupcombobox1.ListField];
end;

DBLookupCombo doesn't have an itemindex property. The list is a dataset, not a stringlist (or list)

Solutions based on "dblookupcombobox1.ListSource.DataSet.First" look right but don't seem to work - i.e. moving the record pointer in the underlying dataset programatically doesn't seem to affect which item in the dropdown is selected

 

by: Geert_GruwezPosted on 2009-07-20 at 11:17:21ID: 24897512

you can't change the combobox
you can only change the value of the field
the combobox will set itself

not the other way around

 

by: EddieShipmanPosted on 2009-07-20 at 12:50:24ID: 24898340

There is no way to do this without focusing the DBLookupCombo, calling the DropDown and sending it key events
to select the first item.

Reasoning is this:
TDBLookupComboBox is NOT a ComboBox control.
It has a TPopupDataList property, which has a SelectedItems BUT you cannot access it because it is private.
I can get the handle to the list but it also entails calling dropdown. However, once you have the handle, you cannot
send it regular List control messages. It is derived from TDBLookupListBox which will not accept list control messages.

The only way to do this is to write your own control and expose the private TPopupDataList.

Geert has the idea, though, if you set the Datasource's value to the first value in the ListSource, it will show the
first value in the list, like below...

with DBLookupComboBox1 do
begin
  ListSource.DataSet.First;
  // Locate the record you want to store the value to first before you edit!
  DataSource.DataSet.Edit;
  DataSource.DataSet.FieldByName(DataField).Value :=
      ListSource.DataSet.FieldByName(ListField).Value;
  DataSource.DataSet.Post;
end;

just set the keyvalue (property of dblookupcombo) to your default value  :-)

 

by: Geert_GruwezPosted on 2009-08-03 at 00:23:00ID: 25002370

not that you might think, but you accepted a wrong answer ...

afterinsert
--> dataset is in edit mode and you can directly set the field as in my sample

browsing mode for existing records
--> if you call this method your field will change to the first listsource value and be posted (it won't even show the original value, well it will, but only for the time you can blink)

--> browsing mode with no records
dataset.post will create a record

Have you tested this solution ?

 

by: Geert_GruwezPosted on 2009-08-03 at 00:26:07ID: 25002376

>>EddieShipman
these 2 lines:
-->  DataSource.DataSet.Edit;
-->  DataSource.DataSet.Post;

what if in insert mode ?
what if empty dataset ? (other key fields may be required)

>>gamutgroup
if you post the piece of your code where you use this,
i'll immediately point you to the problems

>>DBLookupCombo at design time
and for this, you'll have to create your own derived component

not to mention it will be all random data ....
