MO!

How about adding a property to ccombobox (and the appropriate code, of course <g>) that would tell the framework to translate the display values just like label captions etc.? It would be nice to have the same capability where the users can edit their own language entries through the langtran table. That way if a selection already exists in langtran it wouldn't have to be translated in two separate tables.
