Thank you all for your comments. 

- Peter... You're right.  My error. I neglected to match the "Superclass" 
field with the selected "Style" dropdown. 

- Illya... I think this was your point (1).  That was the intention... The 
Superclass field would be updated dynamically depending on the "Style" and 
radio button selections. 
    About the choice of name for "Style" (you and Eugene suggested "Widget 
set" and "Toolkit".  These are good ideas.  What do you both think about 
the argument the following counter argument: since developers could add 
their own contributions to this dropdown, they could become their own 
organization/personal "style" (although technically they are "toolkits"). 

- Eugene... The radio buttons are intended to be generic.  Looks like you 
propose (legitimately) adding one more: Dialog 
...as well as a corresponding dropdown (to accompany this "Dialog" radio 
button) that would include the various dialog classes that could be 
extended.  Problem is, don't you think that would require too much 
realstate? 
    
What we could do is to make the "Superclass" field a dropdown that 
includes any classes that match the Style dropdown and Radio buttons 
selection. 

Resulting in something like this...
