Hi SSLabVIEW,

what are you trying to achieve?

Why do you need to select multiple FP elements (aka "objects")?

Which kind of user interaction do you want to enable?

Hey GerdW,

i 'm working on the improvemnt of a user interface and I would like to add approximately the same selection functionality that we find in edit mode,i mean when you drag diagonnaly until the selection rectangle includes all the objects you want to select , because later, I would like to move them, to align them programmatically , at the run time , 

best regards,

Hi SSLabVIEW,

you might use an event structure to handle mouse movement events, as well as any menu actions on enabling/disabling this "selection mode"…

Quite some work to do to replicate this "marching ants" selection mode!
