FS#300 - Multiple selection of controls within a Group
I have written in the proposed Help:
To select all controls in an area of the active form, hold the left mouse button down and drag to select an area of the form. All controls wholely within, and partly within, this area are selected.
This often does not work when I try to select several controls in a Group, and is driving me nuts with the Style dialogs.
I suggest that Koda be changed such that:
- clicking within a Group in the Design area does not select the Group
- a Group can only be selected in the Design Area by clicking on (or near) its border, not on a drag handle.
Don't sure it's possible here. But I'll look.
While you are looking at that area of the code:
It would be nice if, when I select Controls 2 and up, the boundaries of all selected controls show. So the above would become:
I observe that, when selecting controls by dragging a rectangle:
I am happy with both rules; they both have advantages and disadvantages.
I am wondering whether it would be easier for you to code selection of controls within a group, without selecting the whole group, if Koda used Rule 2 above.
Just wondering.
