Hi I have a large group graphic objects, these individual 'cells' can be coloured individually on mouseup.

What I need to do is reset them all to white, ok i can repeat thru each item in the group and it works but as there are a 1000 items this is very slow.

So i tried to set the fillfore of group id . . . and I the first time i did this it worked very quickly.

However returning to the stack I find this no longer works, am I going mad, done something silly or Did I imagine that it worked in the first place?

Or is there a better way to reset all items of a group?

regards t

even if you LOCK/UNLOCK the screen?

Most visual properties like color and text follow an inheritance path like scripts do. If an object has no color assigned it will inherit the color of its owner.

To reset all the graphics, run your scanning handler once more and set the color to empty. After that they should inherit the color of the group.
