Hi guys,

I'm starting my second (this time more serious) project on EWB and have some questions regarding the correct use of TButtonComboBox.

I've a REST Webservice from where I retrieve some json collections that get loaded on TCollections on the EWB side. I've been struggling to properly bind these collection to a TButtonComboBox. So far, I've done it manually, adding the values manually through the Items.Add method, and once a value is selected I search/find the TButtonComboBox.Text value throuht the elements on the collection in order to retrieve the corresponding value. Obviously there should be a more efficient way, right?

Any advice?

Regards,
Mario

Don't the values in the collection map, positionally, to the same items in the TButtonComboBox ?  Or are they sorted in the TButtonComboBox ?

Tim,

Yes, the items should by in the same position, guess I could use the ItemIndex then right?

I'll look into it, thank you.
