[Grok-dev] How do I use schema.Object?

[Sebastian Ware]

I need somehow to specify what widget to use. I got the impression  
that these might help:

   from zope.app.form import CustomWidgetFactory
   from zope.app.form.browser import ObjectWidget

I read a discussion here:

   http://mail.zope.org/pipermail/zope3-users/2005-August/000923.html

Got the impression that I could create such a widget automagically,  
but I just got a bunch of different errors. Maybe someone has done  
this in Grok and I might be in the wrong corner to start with when I  
am looking at Zope 3 solutions from 2005...
