Hi again Ed,

 > How did a dropdown list get a Name like 'dTextBox6'? ;-)

It does if you copy the declaration of a dTextBox and forget to change 
it :-D
I'm using class designer to generate the initial mockup of the forms and 
changing/editing the cdxml and -code.py files by hand..., i have lots of 
similar forms so i find this method faster, it also gives me a greater 
grip of what is going on behind....

ClassDesigner is great...but nothing beats good old vim, sorry :-P

As for the combobox problem, i eventually figured it out, with the help 
of the wiki link you gave me....
I suggest a change in the wiki referring the fact you must add code to 
the afterInit method...
It is obvious now how it works, but i was looking for a way to let the 
combobox do the "dirty work", something like this:

dCombobox.Query = "SELECT id, name FROM mytable"
dCombobox.BoundColumn = 0

or

dCombobox.listDataSet = listDataSet
dCombobox.BoundColumn = 0

so i found it quite strange to have to load Choices and Keys by hand....

when i saw that getAvailableTypes was not an overwritten method as i 
initially considered it was quite obvious how things should work, sorry 
for wasting your time...

BTW, i used the form's afterInitAll method, not the combobox afterInit, 
works like a charm....

Once again thanks for your time, and consider that wiki change if you 
will :P
