Summary

Specifies the format to use to display the field values in the lookup list.


Pascal

 propertyLookupFormat: string;


Description

Use LookupFormat to display the lookup field values in a specific format in the lookup list. The format string must have the same number of format specifiers as the number of fields (specified by LookupDisplay). The only allowed format specifier is "%s".
For example, you have 3 fields in the lookup table: FIRSTNAME, LASTNAME and AGE. If these fields have the values 'John', 'Doe', 25 resp. then you want it to be displayed as 'Doe, John (25)'. In this case you have to set the properties as follows: ListStyle := lsDelimited;
LookupDisplay := 'LASTNAME;FIRSTNAME;AGE';
LookupFormat := '%s, %s (%s)';
