Container Shapesheet

[Scott10284]

I am working on a smart shape that utilizes a container and this is my first time using a container.

The first thing that I noticed is that I have to click on the container boarder to select it, rather than clicking inside of the container.

For ease of use, this is going to be problematic. Is there a shapesheet setting that can be changed so that when I click inside the container that it selects it?

I can't try it myself at the moment, but try filling the shape, and if you don't want the colour to be visible then you can make it transparent. That might do it.

Actually, this is on purpose to allow easy selection of shapes inside the container without touching the container (with area selection, for example).

If you want to select a container, click either the container's title or a border.

Please note that if you don't want to select shapes in the container, you may not need the container.
You may need a normal group then. If you want the user to drop shapes into the group, set "add shapes to the group on drop" checkbox.

Nikolay, the "Add shapes to group on drop" sounds like it may be what i need. I went into the behavior options of the grouped shape, and checked the box for this behavior. Thereafter, when I drop a shape on the group it does not join the group. What did I do wrong?
