Hi everyone,

While in browse mode, i’d like to be able to marquee several controls like one can when in edit mode. After releasing the mouse, the marquee’d controls would need to somehow show that they are selected. In addition, upon releasing the mouse, it would need to be noted in a text field which controls are selected.

To add a bit of difficulty (sorry - but maybe it won’t matter?), the controls are in a group.

Any ideas/code examples on how to achieve this?

Thank you,
Jon

Hi Jon,

I made a stack that does what I think you want.

The script is in the group "myGroup" and the group needs something (in this case a graphic "grcBack") to catch mouseDown etc. as the lowest (first) layer of the group.

Click in the group and move the mouse to select controls, on mouseUp the selected controls have the outerglow set and the selected control names are put into a field.

Kind regards
Bernd
