ButtonBox (gb.form)

This control is a compound control including a TextBox and a little button besides.

If the ClearButton property is set, the ButtonBox will have one more button to clear its contents.

If the Filter property is set, the ButtonBox will act like a filter. It will raise the Filter event each time filtering must be done - usually a few time after the contents has changed.
