Hi,

Probably a very noob or stupid question. But I have a hard time
knowing how to exactly get/extract the selected item in a Listbox
(TDBLookupListbox).

Here is the Delphi equivalent:
http://docwiki.embarcadero.com/Libraries/XE3/en/Vcl.DBCtrls.TDBLookupL
istBox.SelectedItem

Code: [Select]MyVar := MyListbox.SelectedItemSo simple and obvious.

In Lazarus, there is no such a thing as SelectedItem property. This
roadblock wasted so much time on my part, so anyone please help.

Thanks,
Allan

Use ItemIndex, it returns the index of the selected item:

Code: [Select]MyVar := MyDBListbox.Items[MyDBListbox.ItemIndex];

you, thank you, thank you kapibara... You save my day.  Obviously, the
code: MyListbox.Items[MyListbox.ItemIndex] is not obvious to me
because the intellisense only provides this hint: Items:TString, not
Items[Indexhere].

I relied heavily on intellisense for hints.

This thread should be marked as Solved.
