Greetings,

I am in the process of developing an application which allows the user
to layout a screen configuration for data displays. In essence, a
customized version of the form designer which only uses xyplot and text
objects. We are at a point where the user can place a column of textual
boxes on the desired screen with a mouse click. We would now like to
give the user the ability to move those text boxes around as a group
verses individually. I've put the fl_add_text(..) between the bgn_group
and end_group calls but can't get the mouse click for a group. I keep
trapping the mouse clicks under the individual text boxes and can move
those around just fine.

Is there a way to capture the mouse click for a group and move the group
around as part of an application?

Thanks,

Jim Stegeman
