---------------

        For 'selection' and 'multiple selection' properties, you must
        include an addition item in the property dictionary,
        'select_variable' which provides the name of a property or
        method which returns a list of strings from which the
        selection(s) can be chosen. For example::

          _properties=({'id' : 'favorite_color', 
                        'type' : 'selection',
                        'select_variable' : 'getColors'
                       },
                      )

           Could we have an example of the property or method 'getColors' please? I cannot figure out how to create the
           options list and nominate the default selected item.
