Jason,


When you drop an IB_ComboBox on an IB_Grid, and you associate the
IB_ComboBox with a column in the grid, then the column in the grid is not
painted any more.

This is contrary to an IB_LookupComboBox that does get painted correctly
inside an IB_Grid.

I'm probably overlooking something simple (I can't imagine this is a bug).
So: what am I doing wrong?

I made a temporary fix for myself, and it looks like this:

function TIB_CustomGrid.GetCellDisplayText( ACol, ARow: Longint ): string;
....

if Prepared then
begin
if ARow >= FixedRows then
for ii := 0 to ControlCount - 1 do
if Controls[ ii ] is TIB_CustomComboBox then
with Controls[ ii ] as TIB_CustomComboBox do
if Assigned( Field ) and ( AColumn = Field ) then
begin
tmpString := Items.Strings[ ItemValues.IndexOf( Result ) ];
if tmpString = '' then //##jp: Added
Result := Result //##jp: Added
else //##jp: Added
Result := tmpString;
end;
if Assigned( OnGetDisplayText ) then
OnGetDisplayText( Self, ACol, ARow, Result );
end;


Steps to reproduce:
- dump the components below on a form
- change the database name (in the params) if applicable
- make sure the Form.OnCreate executes this code:
IB_Query1.Open;
- run the application
- top grid does not show CUSTOMERNAME, but bottom grid does
- this is because the top grid has a IB_ComboBox on it
