The "CTL." stuff is needed to display search criterias in native IBO
controls. There is no other way to do this (as far as I know). One
improvement: Instead of knowing which IBO controls is connected to datafield
of given query it should be possible to go through all controls and look for
it. But this is more Delphi then IBO related.

If there is no need for native IBO control support I deal with variable
WHERE clauses. So I provide an Excel like autofilter with LookupBoxes and in
OnChange event of these controls I change where clause according to
control's content.

But for sure you are aware of this...
