Hello everybody.

What is the equivalent of Vcl.TDBLookupComboBox in FMX?

[Lajos Juhász 325]

There is none. You have to use a component that is native for the OS/OSes you are targeting.

You may be wrong.
There is no native control like TDBLookupComboBox in Windows OS.
That is why Owner-drawn Control – TDBLookupComboBox is written in VCL.

I wrote on this blog an alternative to the "classic TDBComboBox" (sorry in French, and I am now a retired on holidays programmer  so use some translator if necessary)

I suggest reading first this one https://www.developpez.net/forums/blogs/138527-sergiomaster/b6927/fmx-modifier-hauteur-accessoirement-dautres-proprietes-boite-recherche-liste/  which was the trigger.

 

You will also find all the "bunch" in a tutorial https://serge-girard.developpez.com/tutoriels/Delphi/Combobox/ (source included)

 

So, response to your question is : should be a TListview or a TEdit
