From the Files menu select the "Designer Options" item to display the Configuration Options dialog. You will notice a field for:

"Use Code Template"

The default code template is:

Code templates are simply text files which have code block tags for different sections of a generated app. You can add code to these sections and they will be added to all projects that use it. It becomes part of the designers generated code.

Here is the default code template. It doesn't have any code to generate, but does have all the sections listed which are currently supported.
