Well, that is exactly what I wanted to do. Automate some design-time stuff. As you stated in a previous reply, I want to insert a column. I want to do this at design-time.
Anyway, I think I have solved this already.
I still have a slight problem: when storing a property with WriteExpression(), it prepends an "=" for logical and numeric values. For instance, when copying property .ReadOnly, from another column, the value becomes
=.T.. I don't think this is a serious problem, though.
