Theres a lot of potential answers for this, how hae you stored your words vs defintiions? which version of delphi are you using?, how much experience do you have? and what have you read about and dismissed so far (and why was it dismissed)?
Did I just hear "You gotta help us, Doc. We've tried nothin' and we're all out of ideas" ? Is this you? Dont let this be you! I will put in as much effort as you seem to.

You didnt entirely answer the question about how your dictionary was laid out, you said you stored words in a txt file, how? wheres the description?
A better answer by the sounds of it would have been a database. However, if you take a look at stringlist you'll see a keyd list and you could use that, assuming you read the word and description in correctly.

Well, yeah, i seen it now. My idea now is to put words into a list by String List, and i want to do like, when you click on a word in List box, or when you type in the word in Edit box and press ENTER, it shows the explanation for that word in Memo box. And i dont know how to do that.
In my project, i used Memo box, List box and Edit box.

string list will do that for you if you do it right.. Hold both the word and the description..

Then, can u tell me how to do that?
But i think, that reading from a file is better, cuz ill be adding hundrets of words in there. So i think reading a description from a file, will be way better. But that will work 2.

Well. Take a look at stringlist - theres enough examples.
