One of the components that I think Delphi is misiing is a data aware
Lookup Edit. I have recently upgraded to Delphi 2007 and need to
implement one of these components.... i.e. Lookup a value from one
database and post that value or an "edited" value to another database.

thanks,

When compared for instance with the standard TDBLookupComboBox, how
exactly does this kind of Control work?

Let's say that your lookup dataset has about 100 records. Are you maybe
planning to have some kind of button to your new TLookupEdit? It then
opens some small selection window to your 100 record dataset, and then
your pick thew appropriate record?

I myself have never needed or wantes 'TLookupEdit' control. But there
are tons of third party data aware controls and someone may already have
some implementation of it. Once you know what kind of functionality you
are looking for.

The application that i am writing i would like the control to lookup
parts from a database, but as you are entering if the part is
different the control allows you to enter the new name... if the item
is in the lookup list (drop down box) then you could/would select it.

yes i want the control to act similar to a dblookupcombobox but with
edit ability.

thanks,
