grouping UI objects

Just wonder if the feature to group UI objects is available or not?

Thank you.

For this you could make a lasso-selection with the pressed left mouse-key around all your buttons and if you afterwards clicked (and hold) with the left mouse-key on one object you can drag the object - whereby it might be easier to use instead the mouse-dragging the arrow-keys.

Take a look on a container in which you could put various other objects and further containers.

i have a few buttons and would like to move them all at once, at the moment I have to click on each of them to highlight them and then move them around.

Thank you, Marcus

When there is no background for the buttons, the method works fine.

I guess it will be dwon to  the right order to follow while designing the interface.

In former days I used for such cases an own developer-mode - simply a variable vDevMode = true/false within the layout-conditions from such background-textboxes as pictures, frames or lines. Nowadays I use only very simplified gui's without a need for these things.
