Saving multiple listbox items to db

[Lainkes 0]

Hello,

 

On my form (Person) , I have a Listbox component that I fill with values from another table. I activated the multiselect option.

How can I now save the selected records in my database, linked to the Person.

 

When I open the Person form again, the selected records needs to be selected.

 

Thanks

I found a component that is called TCheckListBox.

I can fill this with values from my database. So that's works fine.

Now I need to know how to save the selected data to my database, linked to the key of  my Person table.

Use the TCheckListBox.Selected Property

Here is an example from the documentation:

I already managed to fill the Checkboxlist with items from my table.
But now I'm wondering how I can write the selected items to a table and retrieve them when a person form is opened.

 

Thanks

You iterate over the items, check if it's checked if it is, save it to your table

 

for var i := 0 to (FileListBox1.Items.Count - 1) do begin
  if FileListBox1.Selected[i] then
    begin
      // save item to table FileListBox1.Items[i] 
    end;
