Lets say there are three choices: (small, medium, big) to choose from.
I'd like to use a DBComboBox, not a DBLookupComboBox, because it feels
like overkill to create a lookuptable and a ListDataSet just for that.

Whats the best solution to store the ItemIndex of the DBComboBox
instead of the displayed Item string?

(DBRadioGroup seems to handle this with a Values list)

Is this all you want to do?   Why don't you use a TcomboBox and handle
the read writes  youself.

Thanks Mike, thats a solution.

[Edit]
Later I discovered that the RXLib trunk version for Lazarus has a
DBComboBox that does exactly whats needed. That pack has a multitude
of other components too.
