Simply look at the docs or the delphi docs:

1. TDBLookupListBox is similar to TDBLookupComboBox, so wiki page might help you: http://wiki.freepascal.org/dblookupcombobox

2. Then, I found this - http://www.festra.com/wwwboard/messages/1767.html

3. Search the forum for dblookup:There are many questions about using DBLookupListBox and DBLookUpComboBox. Perhaps you can figure out what you need by reading these topics...

Basically what it does is this:

You can present the user with a set of pre-defined choices, where you, the programmer, have full control over. This is foremost to prevent the user of making an invalid  look-up query in most circumstances. But it is also convenience to the user to present him/her with valid/validated options. You can load these options from a database itself, but that is not strictly necessary.
