Contains settings for ExtLookupEditors.

Declaration

TcxExtLookupComboBoxProperties = class(
    TcxCustomExtLookupComboBoxProperties
)

Remarks

The TcxExtLookupComboBoxProperties class contains a set of attributes controlling the behavior of ExtLookupEditors (TcxExtLookupComboBox and TcxDBExtLookupComboBox).

An ExtLookupEditor displays a data-aware (Banded) Table View within its dropdown window specified by the View property. Selecting a specific record in this View changes the display text and edit value(s) of the editor. The display text is obtained from the ListFieldItem column of the selected record. The edit value(s) is determined by a selected record’s field(s) set via the KeyFieldNames property.

You can use the FocusPopup property to enable/disable editing data within the dropdown View. If FocusPopup is set to True, a user has the full-function grid View in the dropdown (editing, filtering is enabled). Otherwise, a user is not able to edit and filter data; only sorting and grouping are supported.
