[Gambas-devel] Design property

[Robert Rowe]

What I'd like to do is to display a button on the control at design 
time. When the developer clicks the button it brings up a GUI that lets 
them create/edit the tools on the toolbar. I'd save these settings 
somewhere. Either in the form file or another file in the project's data 
directory. The control would look for this file at runtime and load the 
tools from it. I hope to provide codeless setup and use of the toolbar.

I can't seem to get any code that I put into a

If me.Design Then

block to run. I've also tried me.parent.design within the primary 
control in my component. This doesn't run either.

Any suggestions?
