Delphi7 - Populating List Box From DB

    I have a DBLookUpListBox which i want to populate with data from a field in a database. The field is in the 'Event' Table, field name is 'EventType'.

    Under the ListBox propertys i have set my dataSource to the query and then set the DataField to EventType. How do i get the list box to populate now? I would have thought once those two propertys are set it would populate automatically. Guessing im missing some line : LookUpBox.populate or something?
    Am new to delphi so any help would be appreciated :].

    You also need to set the ListSource property to point to your "lookup" datasource, and set the KeyField and ListField properties as appropriate.
