Two steps to do what you want to do :

(please watch out lower and uppercase)

1- Update the adminhtml Block class

• Open app/local/[YourNamespace]/[YourModule]/Block/Adminhtml/[YourModule]/Grid.php

• In the class declaration change :

  class [YourNamespace]_[YourModule]_Block_Adminhtml_[YourModule]_Grid extends Mage_Adminhtml_Block_Widget_Grid

  to

  class [YourNamespace]_[YourModule]_Block_Adminhtml_[YourModule]_Grid extends Mage_Adminhtml_Block_Widget_Form_Container

• then clear all the content (methods) of the file and replace it with :

  public function __construct() {
parent::__construct();

  $this->setTemplate('[yourmodule]/[some-template-filename].phtml');

  $this->setId('[some_id]');
  

  }

2- Create your template file

Create app/design/adminthml/default/default/template/[youmodule]/[some-template-filename].phtml You will find ideas and inspiration by digging into other Magento modules but here is some starting point :

<div class="content-header">
 <table cellspacing="0" class="grid-header">
  <tr>
   <td><h3><?php echo $this->__('A nice title'); ?></h3></td>
   <td class="a-right">
    <button onclick="history.go(-1)" class="scalable back" type="button"><span><?php echo $this->__('Cancel'); ?></span></button>
    <button onclick="editForm.submit()" class="scalable save" type="button"><span><?php echo $this->__('Save'); ?></span></button>
   </td>
  </tr>
 </table>
</div>
<div class="entry-edit">
 <form id="edit_form" name="edit_form" method="post" action="YOUR JOB TO CALL THE RIGHT CONTROLLER">
  <input name="form_key" type="hidden" value="<?php echo Mage::getSingleton('core/session')->getFormKey() ?>" />
  <h4 class="icon-head head-edit-form fieldset-legend"><?php echo $this->__('Another nice title')?></h4>
  <fieldset id="my-fieldset">
   <table cellspacing="0" class="form-list">
    <tr>
     <td class="label"><?php echo $this->__('A nice TD title'); ?> <span class="required">*</span></td>
     <td class="label required-entry">
       CONTENT FOR YOUR TD
     </td>
    </tr>
   </table>
  </fieldset>
 </form>
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
 var editForm = new varienForm('edit_form');
</script>

All the above should guide you to want to want to achieve but as long as you won't be using the item edit usually provided by clicking on some line of the "regular" grid generated by Module Creator, a full bench of the code, files and folders created by Module Creator is now obsolete.

My best bet would be to make your own module from scratch :)
