Watch out overquoting and try TIB_Query.AfterInsert/AfterEdit which can be
assigned to same procedure. Would you like to set RO property of IBO
controls at runtime depending on a condition? Try this sample:

procedure TForm.IBP_Query1AfterEdit(IB_Dataset: TIB_Dataset);
var i:Integer;
begin
with IBP_SearchPanel1 do
for i:=0 to ComponentCount-1 do
if Components[i] is TIB_CustomEdit then
with (Components[i] as TIB_CustomEdit) do

IBP_Query1.FieldByName(DataField).ForceControlsReadOnly:=Superuser.Checked;
