Hi,
Does anyone know whether it is possible to group objects in XPress 4.1?
I was looking through the updated Apple Events Scripting.pdf that
came with the 4.1 update and found the group box type, but not enough
information on how to create one.
I found that if I had a page with just two objects placed on it and
only one selected then asked for the following, I would get:
current box
--> generic box 1 of spread 1 of document "Document1"
box type of current box
--> line box type
The same for the other item on the page, but if I selected both
objects together the results were different:
current box
--> generic box 3 of spread 1 of document "Document1"
box type of current box
--> group box type
What is interesting is that a third generic box was created when two
objects were selected. If I manually group both objects together in
XPress, select the group and then apply the same tests I get the same
results. The only difference is that the new generic box has a box
shape of rectangular and the object is persistent when the selection
is lost.
Can anyone help me out here?
Regards Alan.
