[Boa Constr] Mixing in unsupported widgets and other questions

[Harris S. R C. AFRL/S. <Sco...@wp...>]

I'm looking for some documentation or guidance regarding the overall
intended use of Boa Constructor.  I'm able to build simple demo apps, but I keep
getting the feeling that I'm using the tool incorrectly.

For example, my goal is to build a GUI around an app I'm writing that uses the visualization toolkit (VTK).
If I build the GUI and then add code to insert a wxVTKRenderWindow everything works fine. Going back to the
designer and making changes causes my added code to be deleted.  Where can or can't I put code I've written?
Can I modify the code written by Boa Constructor, or will that break something?

What are good strategies for mixing my code with Boa's code?

In addition, is there a simple way to rename the classes I'm creating.  If I start building an about box I'd like to
call it wxMyAboutBox or something like that. Boa calls it wxDialog1.  Is there a simple way to change the name 
of objects?

I guess what I'm really looking for is a few pages of documentation that describe the design philosophy, high level operation of
 the program, and how to use it to build large, real programs.

As I come up to speed, I'd be happy to help out and write up some additional documentation.  It might also be useful to
make the guide available as a separate download.  I found it by accident because it's not part of the 0.4 download.

Thanks for your help in advance,
