Did you know that you can customize the DB Grid column
properties and use that as ListBox?
R:BASE 7.5 and V-8 Turbo for Windows includes additional

ListBox. You can achieve this feature by simply placing
the DB Grid control on the form, associating it with the
desired table and then customizing the column properties.
