Custom Widget question

Hi Caolán

I will analyse the two listboxes approach. I also solved the Hide/Show
issue I had. I am 99% close to completion for page dialog tab.

Two other advises I need.

The first is to handle single strings in src files. Does it make sense
to add hidden labels widget in the UI in order to fetch the strings? e.g.

String STR_INSIDE
    {
        Text [ en-US ] = "I~nner" ;
    };



The second is about the list of page formats. These long lists are well
defined in src and the Id's are very readable. E.g.

StringArray RID_SVXSTRARY_PAPERSIZE_STD
{
    ItemList [ en-US ] =
    {
        < "A6" ; PAPERSIZE_A6 ; > ;
        < "A5" ; PAPERSIZE_A5 ; > ;

(...)

If I add this list to a listbox widget, I will need to transform
PAPERSIZE_A6 to its numeric value, right?. Perfectly doable but we will
loose the mnemonic. On one side, we will get rid of the src file, OTOH,
we loose readability. What do you recomend?

Cheers
Olivier
