Hello i hope this time i can find help here,

I want to see this in design grid ( "Design mode"), so i can SEE which object i change position or other properties( I KNOW how to do this step by step object per object) . I Only want see the outer marked lines of the 2 connected Objects!!!!

With the mouse it is possible to mark multiple object.

I also tested. It leaves only one object activated. Strike one for the API Guide.

If you are only trying to make the desired objects stand out, Why not trying changing for instance their layout so they stand out. For instance, on a click of a button a border appears on all the objects that you desire.

Will that work. I am sure it can be done through Macro/Qlikview APIs.

Hello Imad,

i actually programming a Group function like u have in MS WORD. I whish that the User can See which objects are in one group. The user click on a object and my Macro get all grouped object ids so this works and i can move all at the same time. BUT the user needs to see which other objects are selected. That is why i ask.
