Mike, I believe in our docs there is NO place we is said that Valentina and
REAL DB are the same. In fact they are very different.

Or you mean documentation of REAL ?

What browser you mean?

Do you use REAL db way of binding?
This not works/

You need to make some function that simply copy values from Valentina cursor
to listbox.

Also you can look into example ThirdParty Projects / viSQL.
It use not listbox but other class which can display records dynamically.
RB Listbox is not good for big tables.


Even better to use Einhugur's Data Browser.

You SIMPLY get from Valentina cursor some vlaue

    v = cursor.Field(i).GetString

And put it into listbox


    listbox..... = v
