How To Clear a Listbox Using an ArrayList DataSource?

[Slagert]

How do I clear a Listbox that uses an ArrayList for its DataSource?

If I try MyListBox.Items.Clear I get an exception telling me I can't change
the listbox's ItemCollection if the DataSource is set.

If I try MyArrayList.Clear I see that the array is cleared but the listbox
is not. If I then add new items to the array they do not show in the
listbox.

So how do I clear a listbox if the datasource is set?

Ok, I'll answer this myself since nobody seems to be listening here...

To empty a Delphi .Net listbox that uses an array for a data source just set
the listbox's datasource property to nil. For instance if your listbox is
named MyListbox you can use the following code to remove the items from the
listbox.

MyListbox .DataSource := nil;

There it is, now we have the answer.

You could also set it to an empty array if it makes your code simpler.
