What you have to do is to define OrderingLinks of the LookUp Dataset. The
Dataset must be ordered by the column you want to find the entries matching
your keystrokes. Plus, the LookUpCombo must have SearchKeyByKey and
FindNearest enabled.
Once you have it working so far, you can even embed this control into a
grid.
If you plan to keep using IBO, do yourself a favor and get the Getting
Started Guide from the IBO Website.
