Description

KeyDown is an overridden method in TCustomDBComboBox, and calls the inherited method on entry. It ensures that a virtual key which affects the datasource state is applied to the control. KeyDown handles the following virtual key codes:

VK_ESCAPE
Editing is cancelled. Calls the Cancel method in the linked dataset when the datasource is in an edit state. Calls the Reset method for the data link if the datasource is not being edited. Calls SelectAll to re-select content in the control. Sets Key to VK_UNKNOWN after applying the original virtual key code.
