Ok, lets see what is not clear.

right

Stop. 

First of all: do not confuse: exists 2 different bindings.

1) SQL binding. -- this is when you make SQL query of kind

    query = "SELECT .. WHERE f1 = :1 and f2 > :2"
    
    and you attach real values via binding:
    
    db.SqlSelect( query, [25, 98] )

    Example SQL_way/binding  -- demonstrates THIS issue.
    And this example works. What problems here??


2) Binding of data to GUI elements.
    I think you talk about this issue. Right/

Hmm, we need to check this.
