    And on the exit event of the TEdit the code would be reversed
    so the field can take the value the user entered.

    Since you do not need any UI interaction propably this event
    is useless to you.

Это было бы немного кода, но если ваш компонент имеет события, запускаемые при изменении его значения, то это можно использовать для отправки обновленных значений в набор данных, если он находится в состоянии dsEdit. Вам также потребуется обрабатывать различные события TDataSource, чтобы знать когда набор данных меняется.
