As of right now the new version of IBO 4 only enhances the performance and
responsiveness for very large tables. I think you should give the Enh
controls that Geoff Worboys provides. They have benefits that the standard
IBO lookup combo's don't have.

Subject: [IBO] IBO: the amazing world of DBLookup's


> Hi everybody,

> Just subscribed to this group, been doing Delphi and Interbase for some
time now, recently downloaded the trial of IBO to see if it provides an
easier and less code intensive solution to our "ComboLookUp" situation [so
much for the intro]

> At the moment we have a database with heaps of code-translations (one
table contains key and other table contains keys (primary) and descriptions,
your basic DBLookup deal) Problem is that for every form we have to set a
whole bunch of queries and properties to define the relationship, while most
of this information is basically already stored in the database trough
foreign-key's.

everything manually, but that usually amounts to such a pain when performing
the actual update (yes, another lazy programmer). I worked my way though the
Lars George article on "TIB_LookupCombo" but even in "his" way I have to
create tons of queries and more important, define the relationship with
every single use. Surely there must be a more elegant solution to this ?
Does the newest (upcoming) version 4.0 of IBO provide an answer ????
