  Hi,

    If that is important, I use integer numbers in data field in my
projects. How do you recommend me to change all my glade projects? to
use the suggested workaround for all projects? I think an integer is a
good choice because you can use switch/case with it.

>     do something else;

  Thanks,
   Pedro
