Peter, That's doable. I haven't played with form objects at that level for some time. I'd use a picture for the background or boundary object. The On Mouse Down event let's you trap a click on the picture. You could also trap the On Mouse Up event to get the delta between where the click started and ended - ie the resize or move dims. With the same strategy you can let the user move objects around. Finally you can loop through them, assuming we're not talking about hundreds of them, to determine which are within the boundary of the background picture.
