It isn't possible to enter free text. How else would it know if it isn't in
the list but to search on it.
Perhaps I'm missing something.

Subject: [IBO] Troubles wit Tib_LookupCombo in grid

> Does anyone use Tib_LookupCombo in grid?
> If yes, do you allow users to enter values also by keyboard?

> I tried that but failed.
> When I set Tib_LookupCombo.SearchKeyByKey=true, then it sort of works, but
not practically.
> When user starts pressing keys, then searching starts and finally he can
either select nearest value or enter it completely. Lets assume he entered
'73000'.
> When user now moves to the next row and starts to enter new value, then
after pressing '7', he gets '730007', i.e. the old entered value is still
there!
>
> When I turn SearchKeyByKey off, then I can't enter anything into this
column using keyboard.
