Ed, My apologies, I thought that I did state my desire to continue learning to use dabo to modify the form I started building. The form has the extra row, and needs additional controls, but one part of your build-from-scratch demo at the 2010 PyCon reads that if I click on a control (e.g., text box) I see a list of other widget types; I don't see that. And, when I use the object info window to try to resize that widget it doesn't work. I tried initially setting up the form using one horizontal sizer and setting vertical sizers on each side. That did not follow the demo presentation so I deleted all those and took the defaults by following the text. > I'd really like to help, but you appear to be hell-bent on > negativity.

What I read in your last message is that the class designer did it's thing so it cannot be used to modify what it created. Do I then use ClassDesignerEditor.py or Editor.py to modify the form? I don't see a FormDesigner.py in the ../ide/ subdirectory. > We have built a wonderful community around Dabo, filled with people > who want to learn, and others who want to help.

We miscommunicated because I'm brand new to your tool and don't see how to do what I need. If that means I don't fit in, so be it.
