I stumbled across the answer in the latest issue of CoDe Magazine
(
http://www.code-magazine.com/Article...uickid=0607031). Simply select
the control, and, in the properties window open the (Application Settings)
property. Then click on the [...] button in the (Property Bindings)
property.
Apparently, trying to use the Data Source magic to create a binding doesn't
work. Looks like a bug to me...
