[Gambas-user] Gambas Custom Controls - Property as Constant List

[Claus Dietrich]

Hi Gianluigi

Many thanks, but there seems to be a misunderstanding. My subject is
about the general basics of self-made IDE custom controls and how a list
of constants can be used to determine one of its properties in the IDE
property-list.

Meanwhile I managed to get things work with a trial-and-error approach
but it is not what I am looking for: 

'Gambas class file "Knob"
Export
....
Public Const StyleStrokes As Integer = 1
Public Const StyleScale As Integer = 2
...
Public Const _Properties As String = "*,....,*Style{Knob.*}=StyleStrokes" *

With this the property "Style" offers both constants (StyleStrokes and
StyleScale) in a combo for selection. I have no idea how Gambas figures
out the right list items with this method and doesn't grab other
constants defined in the class. This somehow contradicts with the wiki
(https://gambaswiki.org/wiki/dev/gambas) and I still don't know how to
specify _individual constants_.

Have a good weekend.

Claus
