I have a table with a lookup. This table is showed in a DBGrid. Now I
want to have a dropdown box shown in the grid when I click on the
field with the lookup. Is that possible?

Currently, no. You can create a bug report with a severity "feature"
in the bug tracking system, so it won't be forgotten.

Hello.
Is this possible now?
I tried with ZeosLib, I defined fkLookUp field, reffering to a lookup
dataset/field. Then on the corresponding RxDBGrid I put cbsPickList.
But the drop down list is always empty. I couldn't figure out how to
enable lookup dropdown in a datagrid. I'd like to know whether it is
my mistake or the feature is not yet functional in this moment?

Regards,

Zlatko

I got an application with a lookup in a DBGrid. See these threads:

and

Also alexs (RXFPC's author) is including this functionality in the
next version of RXFPC.

Hope it's useful

Good.
I'm looking forward. I hope information about new RxFPC version will
be published on this forum.

Thanks.
