selecting groups

2003-08-11 Thread Rodney Tamblyn
A very basic question which has probably been asked before When I select a group, the resize handles appear around the edge, however when I attempt to click on the object and drag (to resize it), the group deselects. How can I select and resize a group using the mouse? ~ Rodney -- Rodney

pageIncrement in scrollbars

2003-08-11 Thread Michael J. Lew
I am having trouble with scrollbars. It seems as if clicking in the grey area of a scrollbar object changes the thumbPosition by the pageIncrement minus the lineIncrement. Thus if I make them equal there is no effect from clicking in the grey area. If the pageInc is less than the lineInc then
