Out & About Productions has
created three combo box components designed as advanced replacements for the three
standard components that ship with Delphi. The three new components are DBLookupComboPlus designed to replace Delphi's
DBLookupCombo, DBComboBoxPlus to replace DBComboBox. and ComboBoxPlus to replace ComboBox.
These comboboxes are available separately or as a set, the "Binford 2000 ComboBox Combo" with special value pricing. See the Product Summary below.
In addition to the features found in the standard ComboBoxes the Plus ComboBoxes have been enhanced to include options for;
 | Automatic sort the drop down list. |
| Incremental keyboard search of dropdown list elements. (Quicken Style ® ) |
| Autofill - The remaining untyped text is automatically filled in based on the possibilities available in the dropdown list. (Quicken Style) |
| Alaising of the value displayed to some other value. e.g. You see customer name but store customer number. |
| Multiple columns of data in the dropdown list. |
| Column titles in the dropdown list. |
| Adding new records to the dropdown list on the fly. |
| Complete control of dropdown list alignment; left, right, below and above. |
| Choice of boarder styles. |
| Independent control of the size of the edit box portion of the control and the size of the dropdown list. |
| Different fonts can be selected for the edit portion and the dropdown portion of the control. |
| Hide or show the drop down speed button portion of the control on demand. |
| Plus More! |
In addition
to the standard features found in Delphi's DBLookupCombo and the common features mentioned
above the DBLookupComboPlus offers the following capabilities;
| Now directly supports datasets other than TTables includeing TQuery and TClientDataSet |
| Supports TCtrlGrids |
| Supports the new dockable properties of Delphi 4. |
| Support for the Master/Detail relationship defined in the lookup Ttable. |
| Support for incremental search of numeric fields. |
| Plus More! |
As with the original DBLookupCombo, the user can still display text but store a different ID number behind the scenes. Now all the other behaviors your users have come to expect from a truly intelligent combo box are here too. Since DBLookupCombo uses a table and not a query, the creation of the dropdown list is fast and the number of Items in the list is unlimited.
DBLookupComboPlus comes with extensive documentation (a WRI file), Installable component help (a HLP file) and 4 detailed example projects that show various ways to use the component.
