Normally, Select.None;Select.Single;Select.Multiple should not work. But maybe 
I made more than I thought.

Hmm... Where is the DataTypes.None constant?

And you should tell me the error you get each time, because this way I can 
make the IDE more robust against errors in component definition.

Note: I prefer having constants written with the first letter of each word in 
upper case, and the other in lower case. There are some exceptions like in 
the OpenGL component, but this is because the interface of the component 
comes from OpenGL, and was not designed for Gambas.
