Changing properties on a group of selected components

[mdomeyko]

I need to change properties (size, color, form..) on a group of selected components (buttons, panels).
I know how to do it on a one by one basis, but not on a selected group of components. I also need to align the selected group....
Cant figure out how to select the group and then do the changes...
please help!

You can select more than one component in the IDE by holding down the shift key whilst you click on the second and subsequent components.

Use the tag property of a component to indicate which group of components you want the component to be a member of. Tag can be set at design and/or run time.

Write a procedure which iterates through the all the components and alters the attributes of the ones that are members of the required group.

Your procedure might look like this:

SetLeftAttribute( grouptag: integer; left: integer );

for selecting controls at runtime, take a look here :

Thanks to all. At run time, when I press the right mouse button to select objects, I dont get that back-line effect .. How is that done?
