I encounter this scenario quite often: you have a dialog with a list of items. Selecting an item updates the dialog. Modifying a widget in the dialog updates the object from the list.

A typical application does this several times, and every time I add a new field to an object, I must create a callback, set the callback to the new control and write some very simple yet tedious update code.

I was wondering if we couldn't come up with a simpler solution. The one solution we have right now that does what I want or close is ArrayCtrl. But I have far too many fields and I don't want to scroll the ArrayCtrl horizontally.
