Any sort of error (traceback) or any Dabo logs reports? It sounds like the ClassDesigner is getting confused. Try to get the form to refresh by clicking on any of the other windows that are open. I normally click on the editor window and choose a different object - then return to the object I'm interested in. That normally fixes the object tree too. The ClassDesigner is still in development and has a few rough edges. But I can delete a sizer that contains controls (including a grid) and then right click to add a different sizer. In fact I do it often when experimenting with the form design. Maybe I don't understand what you are doing. When you see this problem are you left with only a form and a dPanel?
