As said in the other answers, the tag property is a variant, so you can put 
whatever you want inside.

Another way of doing what you need is creating a component with your own 
controls inheriting gambas controls, with the needed properties added.

For example:

--8<------------------------------------------------------------------------
' MyComboBox.class

EXPORT
INHERITS ComboBox

PROPERTY MyFirstProperty AS String
PROPERTY MySecondProperty AS String

PUBLIC CONST _Properties AS String = "*,MyFirstProperty,MySecondProperty"
[...]
--8<------------------------------------------------------------------------

The next version of the IDE will support making components in Gambas more 
easily than the current one.
