Group screen controls
You can group screen controls together, creating a grouped control. You can move and resize the
grouped control as a single unit. Grouping screen controls has no eect on how they work in
performance, but makes it easier to quickly create a layout. You can group screen controls using
the Group button, using the shortcut menu, or using a background screen control.
You can quickly add one or more screen controls to a group and move or resize individual
controls in a group without ungrouping them.
You can add a panel or an image to the background of a grouped control to re-create the look of
a hardware panel and visually distinguish the grouped control in the workspace.
Group a set of screen controls
1 Select the screen controls you want to group together.
The Group button is highlighted, indicating that the selected controls can be grouped.
2 Do one of the following:
•
Click the Group button (or press Command-Shift-G).
•
Control-click the selected controls, then choose Group from the shortcut menu.
The screen controls are grouped into a single, grouped control. If there is no background around
the screen controls, one is added to encompass them. Selecting any member of the group
selects the entire group so you can move and resize them together.
When you group screen controls, the edges of the background appear “dotted” to indicate
that the controls are grouped. When grouped controls are selected, the Ungroup button is
highlighted, indicating that the controls are grouped. If you want to move one of the grouped
controls separately, you can ungroup the controls.
