[Gambas-user] More on properties ...

[Gareth Bult]

Still pressing on ...

I can see the method for filling a static combo box for a components
properties ..

I want to link a My GridEditor to a Connection component .. is there a
neat way of filling a property combo with a list of all components
within the application of a given type ?
(so effectively setting the contents of the drop down to a list of
components of type "DBConnection")

??
