Hi!
I'm trying to nest 3 groups. One of the groups has a lot of controls while the other two have about 3 each. I can select all three groups and the inspector shows that "multiple groups" are selected. However, when I choose "Group Selected" nothing happens. I expected the handles on the groups to change to one set of handles and the inspector to show that a new group had been created and display a group id. Instead the three groups remain individually selected and the inspector still says "multiple groups".

I've successfully tested the process of creating nested groups using 3 groups that contain only a couple of controls. But when I try to replicate the process with more complex groups it seems to fail. Does anyone have any insights?

Thanks!
Laura

HI shalu,

I ususally do something like this:

Code: Select all

...
## Select all 3 groups:
repeat with i = 1 to 3
  set the selected of grp ("group" & i) to TRUE
end repeat

## Now group them
group

## Deselect everything again
select empty
...

Done!

Best

Klaus
