I really like the TDBAdvImagePickerDropDown, however it has one big limitation - the list of the Dropdown is not data-aware. Please create the TDBAdvLookupImagePickerDropDown. I want a version where the images in the list are populated by a data source. This could be with or without an accompanying description. The behaviour would be similar to the TDBLookupComboBox, where the DataSource and DataField properties are optional - i.e. the result does not need to be stored in a database, but can be picked up by the ItemIndex value of the control.
Do I understand correct you expect the images to come from a BLOB field in the database then?
Yes, precisely! The image is a blob field in the table, and there is a key field(s) that uniquely identifies the selected item just as the TDBLookupCombo does with text based values now.
