The moment I start typing the itemchange Event gets trigger
I neet a event when I select a colounm then the Event get trigger not when I am typing
know my point above that you did not understand or my poor grammer. The itemchange event works when I check Allow edit in the property. when I typing in the datawindow the itemchange event dont get trigger until I select some thing out of the drop down but allow edit have to be check so this good work but I really dont want to allow edit.
but I really dont want to allow edit.

You are going about it the wrong way, and you are breaking rules for user interaction. If you try non-standard user interaction, you will have problems with both the Tool (any tool, PB in this case) and with user acceptance.
Leave the ListWindow alone, connected directly to the DataWindow. Do not allow edits. Use a separate new dialog box to enter whatever you want, including a search value. Then click on whatever buttons you have on the dialogue box (eg. Search or Edit); that should be used to find the row in the DataWindow/ListWindow, to position yourself. Only.
Separately, again, if you double-click on any row in the ListWindow/DataWIndow, that should open a new full edit window for the row, display all the columns for the row (real, computed and otherwise; hide physical columns, etc) and then allow edit or not (depending on permissions).
