This is what asking about earlier, then we got into the discussion about xml menus (which I'm still thinking about working on, but have been spending what little time I have available right now learning Ac3d enough to build a 3D panel--figuring along the way I'll eventually learn how the panel code works).
"Ranges" and "Value lists" would be good. I was thinking of enforcing rules defined in xml in the prop_picker, but it sounds like your saying that should be in the property manager code. Which makes sense. It'd be good to have a error return code(s) from the property manager so that prop_picker (and the other interfaces) could display a message to the user.
