List ODBC data sources in combobox

Porting a vb6 application to Lazarus.
I need to know how to display the list of installed ODBC drivers in a combo box for
the user to select for application setup.

Something like:
Code: Pascal
[Select]
[+]
[-]
// add registry to the uses clause
procedure
TForm1
.
FormCreate
(
Sender
:
TObject
)
;
var
Reg
:
TRegistry
;
begin
Reg
:
=
TRegistry
.
Create
;
try
Reg
.
RootKey
:
=
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
;
Reg
.
OpenKey
(
'Software\ODBC\ODBCINST.INI\ODBC Drivers'
,
False
)
;
Reg
.
GetValueNames
(
Combobox1
.
Items
)
;
finally
Reg
.
Free
;
end
;
end
;

Object Pascal programmers should get rid of their "component fetish" especially with the non-visuals.

Windows platform
Also note that in case you are using SQL Server (small chance ofc
) Windows has a new ODBC driver that requires a separate download and installation.
