  • the type of data this property will be, amongst the following choices :
    • Yes/No : a simple menu with these choices ;
    • Boolean : a simple menu with True/False ;
    • Boolean extended : a simple menu with True/False/Null ;
    • Integer ;
    • a Date or a Time ;
    • Listbox : a menu which items are added by user ;
    • Ref. object : another object (an extensive example is featured here).
