I've got your point.

Mine is that the control should keep less intrusive as it was designed 
earlier (the original author explicitly avoided changing listsource cursor).

With this it can have more granular usage for those that dont want to 
interfere to the dataset position and also for those that want to change 
it, and know the collateral effects, just add a single call to Locate in 
OnSelect or OnEditingDone

I will concentrate in the remaining bugs
