Lookup field in Grid box -how to turn the drop down off

[john230873]

I have a lookup field in a table which displays a part_number for using the link (part_key). This lookup field is used in a DBGrid. Because there is 50,000 parts I don't want to use the drop down box option which automactilly turns on. (unless if you can type to filter the list). How do I turn this option off on the DBGrid as from what I can see it appears to be turn off aready.

TColumn.ButtonStyle.

Double click on grid at design time to get column editor.

Thanks but this doesn't help as now I have no button but I still can't type in the value I want.

Are you saying you have a lookup field IN the DBGrid and you want to select the part you are looking for from the lookup field in the DBGrid?

If you explain what you are trying to accomplish, perhaps someone will have a solution for you, but your question is vague.

You are lucky. At least you can do it in Delphi. I just wanted to opposite. I am trying to get the DBLookup drop-down to work in VB.NET and it's a nightmare. Any ideas in VB?
