Clicking on the '+' button just puts the dataset into dssInsert mode. Underneath, IBO creates an INSERT statement based on what the user types in. If you defined a custom SQL call in the InsertSQL property, IBO uses that instead.

Make sure your dataset's KeyLinks is defined.

If you have the source, you will find this in the implementation code for TIB_Statement and its descendants.

No, IBO does it for you. Just include an entry in the GeneratorLinks property of the query

MYCOLUMN=MYGENERATOR

where MYGENERATOR names the generator you want to use.

Try out the online FAQ on the IBO web site. It's powered by IBO!
