The IDE can only render controls of the components it uses itself (i.e. gb.qt, 
gb.qt.ext and gb.form). 

Otherwise, it uses the control described in the _DrawWith property, that must 
be a control of gb.qt, gb.qt.ext, and gb.form too.

There is no way to explain the IDE how to render a control from a component 
that it does not use.

This is something to do for the 3.0 version of Gambas!
