Hi, im new to this forum about 10 seconds ago like, and quite new to delphi, but what I want to know is how do you read text from a text file created in note pad, into a drop down list, I have been able to read the text in the notepad text file into text boxes, using the string VAR, however, when I try reading it into the drop down boxes, it says, that the drop down box and string or TEdit, something like that is incompatible, please help thanks lol?!

1. Create a New Application
2. Drop a TComboBox
3. Double click your form (Form1 by default)
4. Write this:

procedure TForm1.FormCreate(Sender: TObject);
begin
     ComboBox1.Items.LoadFromFile('YourFile.txt');
end;

Done!
