Well, I meant that you would select two things: * Base Type (List control) e.g. Integer * Array or Not (Radio Button) e.g. Non-Array which would then result in a non-array Integer. So the radio button alters the meaning of the item selected from the list box. I understand what you mean also, which is a check-box to decide whether to include the Array variants in the List or not. Right now I guess I prefer my version, but that's no big surprise. ;-) Whichever we pick, the main thing is to make this List and perhaps *all* similar lists, if any others exist, have just a single alpha-sorted list of items, so that people never get confused about whether items are present or not. -- Simon Riggs www.2ndQuadrant.com PostgreSQL Training, Services and Support -- Sent via pgadmin-hackers mailing list ([email protected]) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgadmin-hackers
