Unit
IB_Controls

Declaration
TIB_CustomComboBox = class(TCustomComboBox)

Description
This control allows a standard combo box to be bound to a data column.

The values of the drop down list must be supplied by assigning them to the Items property manually at design-time or run-time.

The ItemValues property can be used to provide a table of values to store in the database instead of the entries listed in the Items property. Note that this property is ignored if the Style is csDropDown.

To use a list defined from a query try making use of the TIB_LookupCombo control. Otherwise, pre-load the values of the query into the Items property of this control at run-time.

If Style is csDropDownList and the value in the data column does not match an item in the list then the control appears blank.
