TComboBox and string object

[Medium]

The most direct way: Use a global variable for your string. But that can still end up in all sorts of messes because of the compiler magic strings come with. Especially fun stuff like copy-on-write related things.
(Edit, to be clear: Do NOT do this! It may work in some special and simple cases, but is dirty like whatnot.)

A more sensible way: Define a TStringList in a suitable scope, and put the index of your desired string from that list into your Object-Property. To read it, just use that index on your StringList. You'll save yourself a lot of potential trouble that way
