Hi Claus,

thank yo for your work, a very nice component  .

Is it possible to have a different width for the ColumnComboBox and the drop downgrid ?
For example if you want to choose a codenumber for something and an explanation beside
the ColumnComboBox should only have the width of the codenumber field.

--> dropdown width

The second Idea i have is a dropdown align feature, where you can choose left or right Align
and dropdown direction up or down.

--> dropdown align

--> dropdown direction


And then in the third step with a database connection.


Best regards

Nana

Hi Nana,
Thanks for your compliment.
I am currently converting a large program from Delphi to Lazarus : Vig Foreningsprogram. In the work with this conversion I need several components; and have realized that I have to make them myself.
The learning curve in Lazarus is exciting but not effective. A lot you have to find out yourself or ask here in this wonderfull forum. So much for the background.
As you soon will be aware off the "cross-platform thing" is based on widgets. So my component took the shortest route of all. All drawing is done by basic capabilities of the various implementation of the widgets.
In Windows the Item selected is shown as one word (column selected). In Linux it is the hole line with tabs between.

Dropdown width should be able to be larger then the width of the combobox itself. I know that but I will have to train with my widgets implementation before this is possible. Yes but in principal possible. As everything with Lazarus - but coming from Delphi you are more on your own - left with us here in this forum.

Dropdown align - is implemented. Use alignment.

The direction of the dropdown; it is the widgets thing.

Yes I will make a DB version later. Currently my focus is to make a DB version of TRichmemo - see elsewhere in this forum.
