In a nutshell, on a descendent of TWinControl, I want to add a
property where I can set the databasename that corresponds to the
databasename of any TIBODatabase component in the project (on the
parent form or other linked form).

When I looked at the TDatabasenameproperty in IBODatasetEditors it
showed that IBODataset has a property IB_Session which the editor
uses to display all the Databasenames.

As I have looked at this further, my intent is to add a similar
parameter to my component so I could use a hybrid
TDatabasenameproperty. So I wanted to look at the code for setting
this property that IBODataset (or it parent) uses, but I can not find
the code for it.

If you can point me to this code I think I can make this work.
However, I you have any other ways to accomplish this I would love to
here them.

Thanks, for responding,

Bruce
