If a lookup key should be NOT NULL, then I don't understand why a
TIB_LookupCombo allows to press <DEL> for retrieving a NULL value.
Since this not Windows standard to work with a combo box, I don't find
it user friendly. So I am getting asked by my customers how to remove
a previously chosen selection from a lookup combo.
Ok, it seems that I am the only one with this suggestion...
Thanks for all replies.
