TDBComboBox has properties similar to TComboBox and TCustomComboBox. It consists of an Edit Box which is th eData-aware part of the component, and a drop-down list box.
In a typical application a user would be presented with the drop-down list, would make a selection and then this would appear in the edit box and become the data value for that cell in the database.
So for example a list of countries might be presented, and the selected value from the list would be used to populate the appropriate field ('Country') in that record of the database.
