Hi Anthony
Widgets are only available when a Custom Panel uses a device, xml, or self-contained data source. It looks like your panel was created without any data source at all. You can easily add one by going into edit mode, double-clicking anywhere in your panel to open the source editor, selecting the top-level element in the source tree, and configuring the data source to be "openGear or XPression DataLinq" with "Use internal data source" as the option.
