[Qgis-developer] Help needed for 1st dive into Qgis C++ - Access and modify the Scale List combo box

[Nathan Woodrow]

Michael,

This is how I would do it.

https://gist.github.com/2626655

I would create a signal on the project properties dialog that gets emitted
when the scale change, which you then connect to a slot in the scale edit
object in qgisapp.cpp.  Once the signal fires you read the new scales from
where every they are stored into the scale bar widget.
