can't place cluster into array

[ASTDan]

Hopefully this is a stupid question after a long day of programming.

I can't insert this cluster into this array.  I have done this for years but for some reason it doesn't work now.

Please advise

Your cluster has decorations grouped with it.  The array can't handle the decorations.

Ungroup those controls and decorations.  Transfer only the controls to the array.

Cool that was it!

I was able to add my decorations, after adding the cluster without decoration, into the array.

I have attached my now (what I think) is my cool looking control.

Thanks

Thinking about it more, there may be a way to get the decorations into the cluster.

1.  Make a cluster the way you want.

2.  Go to Right-click/Advanced/Customize Control on the cluster to bring up the control editor.

3.  Add the decorations in the control editor.

4.  Save the control.  (you might want to make it a typedef)

5.  Close out the control editor.  Allow the new control to replace the one you have.

6.  Drag the new cluster control into the array frame.

The difference is that by editing the cluster control, the decorations become a part of the control.

Before, you were trying to drag the decorations were outside the cluster, and you were trying to drag the cluster and the decorations into the array.  The array doesn't have any concept of an "array of decorations."  It can't be a container for decorations.  And even if it could, it can't be a container for more than one type of element, which in your case is the cluster.

 I think your right that is a more elegant solution, and I should have that cluster defined as a type def anyway.  

Thanks for your sugestions!
