If you want to specify the DataStructure, you need to also addField(). I've written a addFieldsFromDataStructure() method for this. > Try removing it - if it works then you are OK.

I use it in my main project but haven't used it in my more recent projects. It was definitely needed in the past, not sure now. > IMHO - > The guys that have been using Dabo for a long time are using coding > routines/behaviors that probably aren't required - they just don't hurt and > they work. > For example I started hand coding my forms/windows - mostly because when I > started > the GUI designer wasn't very stable.

I hand-code the UI because I like writing Python, using vim, and not wondering if when something isn't it's because of something I'm doing wrong or something in the designer. That said, the designer is awesome. I use it to make quick mock-ups of design sometimes, especially when playing with sizers. > I see code that others post and I see routines that > I know didn't work and I had to work around long ago.

When I'm working on something else and come across lines of code I know aren't necessary, I'll quickly make a new git topic branch and investigate/test removing those extraneous lines of code, and commit the changes if behavior wasn't changed. That's what living, breathing code means!
