group control: parent to members ; & control selection retention

Judith,

re: GROUP CONTROL PARENT TO MEMBERS:
I wasn't sure from reading your todo if you intend to make elements of a
group be parented to the group.  Radio buttons in particular *need* to do
that, so if you click on a radio *outside* the group, it shouldn't affect
any radio *inside* any other group (and visa versa), but would affect any
other radios *inside* its group.  You do have to make sure to position the
controls inside the group *relative to the control*, rather than the window,
which I forgot to do when testing this :)

Not sure if any others placed in a group need to be parented, but it would
seem to be a good idea, I would think.

re: RETENTION OF SELECT A CONTROL TO USE:
And here's another thought:
maybe it would be a good idea to allow the retention of the selection of a
control to create after the user has created one?  I mean: user clicks a
button to select a control to use, then clicks in design pad to put control
there; but if they want to make another of same type, has to go back & click
same button again; why not just leave previous selection selected?  If they
want something else, they'll have to click on its button anyway.
