how to use the display value of the Foxpro combobox

I have a combo box that I would like it to show a

category name ("Cat1" , "Cat2"...)

But when clicked or just displayed I would like to get the ID of this category. Any idea how to do this in Foxpro?

Solution

  • To populate your combobox:

    Thisform.Combo1.AddItem("Cat1")
Thisform.Combo1.AddItem("Cat2")

    You may use rowsource to add the entire item list into the combobox.

    Get the selected value of combobox:

    Thisform.Combo1.DisplayValue
