Simple: if you check something in the "components" tab of the project property 
dialog, then this is a component. Otherwise, if you add a project in the list 
of the "libraries" tab, then it is a library.

A library is just another gambas project used like a component. Technically, 
at runtime, there is no difference between a library and a component entirely 
written in Gambas.

The IDE extracts the class and symbol information from the library *.gambas 
file, and so can display automatic completion and signature for all exported 
symbols of the library project.

So send me your *.gambas library file and a little project that uses it, and 
then tell me what signature you expect to be displayed.
