The IB_ controls follow the attributes which you set on the dataset
columns. So, for example, the drop-down width of the combo box is the
result of the combined FieldsDisplayWidth properties you set for the
columns displayed in the drop-down.

If you embed the combobox in a grid, the editbox portion of the control
will automatically size to fit the grid column.

If it isn't embedded, you can play around with its width in a variety of
ways...just set its Width property (in the IDE and/or in your code) with
AutoSize false; or adjust the FieldsDisplayWidth of the column you are
displaying in the DisplayField property and set Autosize true. Generally,
letting the FieldsDisplayWidth control the size is the most efficient.
