My app uses a combobox to allow the user to pick a vendor. I'd like to
use the objects property to store the companynumber associated with that
vendor.

        I have accomplished this with the following code:

ComboBox1.Items.AddObject(Copy(TBVendorName.Value,1,20),Pointer(TBVendorNO.Value));

        When the user selects an item in the combo control, I'd like to assign
the vendor number to the transaction file as follows:

        TBTransVendorNo.Value:=ComboBox1.Items.Objects[ComboBox1.Itemindex];

        However, this assignment won't compile. It produces an error of
Incompatible integer/TObject. How can I accomplish this assignment ???

        Is there a better method to accomplish this task ??? Screen real estate
is at a premium so I used a drop combo box control.

        Thank you for your help.

Try:

TBTransVendorNo.Value :=
  Integer( ComboBox1.Items.Objects[ComboBox1.Itemindex] );

Integer() is a cast.  You need to cast the object, which is of TObject
type, to an integer type.

Neil,

Just cast back to a LongInt as follows ...

TBTransVendorNo.Value:=LongInt(ComboBox1.Items.Objects[ComboBox1.Itemindex]);

HTH,
Carl.
