DisplayLabel sets the text of the label you want at the head of the column,
when the field is displayed in a grid.

The Datasource property should point to a TIB_Datasource.

That is what data-aware components do - they display data. You willl see
the column name in a data-aware control in the IDE until the underlying
dataset is prepared; then you will see the a blank field if the dataset is
not active, or the data if it is active.
