Hi Roman,

I've experimented a bit with this new code and have run into the 
following problems:

* After starting XRCed I add a Panel to the tree, then click the test 
button and then drag a box sizer onto the test window.  Although the 
sizer is added successfully, I get this exception twice:

Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "/home/work/projects/wx2.9/wxPython/wx/tools/XRCed/tree.py", 
line 1359, in OnLeave
     self.RemoveHL()
   File "/home/work/projects/wx2.9/wxPython/wx/tools/XRCed/tree.py", 
line 1364, in RemoveHL
     if hl.item: g.tree.SetItemTextColour(hl.item, g.tree.itemColour)
AttributeError: 'XML_Tree' object has no attribute 'itemColour'


* Then I added some controls, and when adding a wxEXPAND flag to a 
TextCtrl I got this exception, and continued getting it when I tried to 
do anything else with the items in the tree:

Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "/home/work/projects/wx2.9/wxPython/wx/tools/XRCed/tree.py", 
line 772, in OnSelChanged
     self.SelectItem(evt.GetItem())
   File "/home/work/projects/wx2.9/wxPython/wx/tools/XRCed/tree.py", 
line 1126, in SelectItem
     self.ChangeSelection(item)
   File "/home/work/projects/wx2.9/wxPython/wx/tools/XRCed/tree.py", 
line 786, in ChangeSelection
     self.Apply(xxx, oldItem)
   File "/home/work/projects/wx2.9/wxPython/wx/tools/XRCed/tree.py", 
line 1252, in Apply
     g.panel.Apply()
   File "/home/work/projects/wx2.9/wxPython/wx/tools/XRCed/panel.py", 
line 173, in Apply
     for p in self.pages: p.Apply()
   File "/home/work/projects/wx2.9/wxPython/wx/tools/XRCed/panel.py", 
line 242, in Apply
     paramObj = xxx.params[param]
KeyError: 'border'


* In another test run I made a panel with a box sizer and a flex sizer 
inside of that.  Then I added a bunch of controls to the flex sizer 
without DnD.  Then I dragged some buttons using DnD.  Since they ended 
up in the box sizer instead of the flex sizer I used the make child 
button on the toolbar and although it did move as expected, I got this 
exception:

Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "xrced.py", line 1334, in OnIdle
     tree.HighLight(tree.pendingHighLight)
   File "/home/work/projects/wx2.9/wxPython/wx/tools/XRCed/tree.py", 
line 827, in HighLight
     obj = self.FindNodeObject(item)
   File "/home/work/projects/wx2.9/wxPython/wx/tools/XRCed/tree.py", 
line 760, in FindNodeObject
     child = parentWin.GetChildren()[self.WindowIndex(item)]
IndexError: list index out of range


* The green text in the tree is hard to read because of the greenish 
background.  I expect that it would probably almost be invisible for 
people with some forms of color blindness.  You should use a darker 
color for that.  A dark green will probably be okay if you want to stick 
with a green shade.  Also, what does the colored text indicate for that 
item?
