Re: How to use PROP_TYPE_BUTTON?

[Le phan Anh <phanl csse monash edu au>]

I better attach some images with this, is it ok to the newsgroup if I 
post imagages as well?

In any case, here is the link to mine website, which currently contain 
some screenshots:

http://www.csse.monash.edu.au/~phanl/concept/

Image 1: a simple concept map with shapes created

Image 2: When use click on object, a prop get display. And when user 
click on View button new dialog created.

Image3: the tab Reference Details is clicked. Some of the information is 
loaded from my external BibTeX. User can add more keys, and information 
of BibTeX entry for each key. Because I am using a parser as well, so 
changes can be applied directly to BibTeX. The keys are then combined 
and save back to original map

Is that possible if I can put the key field right into main prop and 
change it later on using the second dialog? If possible, by which 
functions?
Thanks
