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. Dan
