Hello,
I'm not sure is this bug? can some one test please? and if its but I'll make new issue.
I have a TComboBox, I add 2 strings. I wanna do, if TmpStr is in the items, do it selected.

   I := EDT_User.Items.IndexOfName(TmpStr);
   EDT_User.ItemIndex:= I;

1-) I is always return -1;
2-) I add breakpoint on IndexOfName function, debugger stop there, when click F7 not to go that function, I added breakpoint in IndexOfName function, but never stop in, directly jump to next line on my code. 3-) EDT_User.ItemIndex:= 1; this code not to trigger Text property, text not change

/opt/freepascal/2.7.1/rtl/objpas/classes/stringl.inc line 784

Kubuntu 13.10 x64
fpc svn update 25886
lazarus svn update 43343
QT

Sorry
3-) EDT_User.ItemIndex:= 1; this code not to trigger Text property, text not change

1. and 2. still problem on my system

For debugging, recompile LCL and LCLbase with debug info.

Open each package, and change options

When you press F1 for help you get:

That's probably 2.7.1 problem. With 2.6.2 it works ok. Also, if it's because of qt , look into lcl/interfaces/qt/qtprivate.pp where we define TStrings for combobox, maybe some tuning for 2.7.1 is needed there.

Well, I don't know what's in the Items property (TStrings) but if I execute a
Index := Combo.Iyems.IndexOf('My text');

I receive 7 when the string 'My text' is in the 8th position, counting from 1.
When the Items property contains
one=1
two=2
three=3
four=4
doing:

   str := 'three';
   Index := ComboBox1.Items.IndexOfName(str);
   str2 := ComboBox1.Items.Values[str];
   MessageDlg('Search',Format('index:%d, val:%s', [Index, str2]),

mtInformation, [mbOK], 0, mbOK);
result is 'index:2 val:3

platform is Vista32, Lazarus 1.0.12

Hello Antonio,
Thank for test, In your code is okey, index is start 0 zero so, you write one but it's index number is 0.
So, -1 is not selected or no value or index mean
My system has problem, I thing. Other friends wrote some info, I'll check and I'll write to list
Thank to all

Does your combobox contain non-ASCII characters? How is TmpStr declared?

Regards,
Sven

No any non-ASCII characters,
'Admin', 'xxxxx' this to strings added in items
TmpStr:= 'Admin'
I := EDT_User.Items.IndexOfName(TmpStr);
or
I := EDT_User.Items.IndexOfName('Admin');
same result

Ah, wait. Now I get your problem. You need to use "IndexOf" instead of "IndexOfName". The latter is for cases where the TStrings instance contains name-value pairs (like "Foobar=blubb") whereby this will return the index of the name-value pair with name "Foobar". For your case you need to use "IndexOf" which checks the complete string.

Regards,
Sven

Thank you very much Sven,
IndexOf function work correctly
