It's possible, but not really supported. IOW, it should work, but you
will have to provide all of the code to make it work. We don't "hide"
wxPython methods, so they're fully available to you.

You have to do it in code, the Class Designer only works with Dabo
controls, as they have the behaviors that are needed for the Class
Designer to work. Remember, the Class Designer is a 100% Dabo app.
A Dabo form is a wx.Frame, so if you want to go with the manual
approach, you would have to treat it as such, and add/manage controls
in code.

I think a better solution is for Dabo to expose an event. With most
other wx-level events, we trap them in the framework classes, and then
raise Dabo events. I'm working on this now, and should have something
posted shortly.
