The AppWizard generates source .py files that you are free to edit as you see
fit. In
fact, you are encouraged to do so!
While much of the generated code contains classes that descend from the datanav
sub-framework, and much of the behavior is kind of hard-coded in datanav, there
are a
lot of tweakable things and you could also bi-pass datanav completely for some
or all
forms.

Um, what's dDragForm?

You should design your own form how you want it, but you could still use the
generated biz and grid classes...

I do this a lot in my code. Make getToolTipText() and getHelpText() methods in
your
bizobj, that take as an arg the name of the field. Then instantiate your
controls at
the form level like:
biz = self.getBizobj(datasource)
txt = dabo.ui.dTextBox(self, DataSource=datasource, DataField=field,
ToolTipText=biz.getToolTipText(),
HelpText=biz.getHelpText())

Do this by rearranging the DataStructure tuple in your biz definition.
AppWizard puts
the fields in the order that it finds them in the database. Would be nice to
enhance
AppWizard to remove specified fields and allow for rearrangement at that level,
but
the key thing to remember is that AppWizard is meant to help you get started
with
runnable code. That code is there for you to modify to your desire.

In the particular bizobj definition, add a beforeDelete() method that returns
"Deletion not allowed", or whatever string you want the user to see. If you
don't
want the user to see any message, override biz.delete() and biz.deleteAll()
completely, like:
class MyBiz(dabo.biz.dBizobj):
def delete(self): pass
def deleteAll(self): pass
