Description

TDBListBox implements a data-aware version of TListBox. The control allows selection and storage of a value from a scrolling list of choices to the current record in a linked dataset.

TDBListBox extends the TCustomDBListBox ancestor class to implement abstract/virtual methods, and to set the visibility for properties in the control.

Use the Items property to define the list of choices displayed in the listbox control.

The DataSource property provides access to the linked dataset where the selected value is stored. Field contains the field definition for the column in the dataset where the selected value is stored. Use the DataField property to specify the name for the Field.
