Ugh! The "interactive widget builder" is a royal pain in the ***!
If you are really serious about writing IDL applications, take the
time to learn how to do it by hand. There's a bit of a learning
curve, 'cause it's a bit strange at first, but then suddenly a
light goes off and it starts making sense.

I believe a widget builder is on the drawing board for IDL 5.2. I
got the impression that it is a high-priority feature for
the new release, but we will just have to wait and see...
