TcxCustomExtLookupComboBox.EditValue Property

Specifies the value or an array of values edited by ExtLookupEditor.

#Declaration

Delphi
property EditValue;

#Property Value

Type
TcxEditValue

#Remarks

ExtLookupComboBox allows you to edit a value(s) indirectly by picking up a record from the dropdown View.

The EditValue property represents a value(s) being edited. It always matches a value(s) of a specific field(s) set via the Properties.KeyFieldNames property obtained from the View’s selected record. If the KeyFieldNames property specifies more than one field names, EditValue represents an array of variant values.

Setting focus to a specific record within the View changes the EditValue property and the text displayed in the edit box. For TcxDBExtLookupComboBox editors, changing EditValue modifies the value of the dataset field to which the editor is connected via the DataBinding.DataField attribute.

The value displayed within the ExtLookupEditor is addressed by the Properties.ListFieldItem View column.
