How do I put Toolbox objects into a table control?

[Mark Schonewille]

Hi Josh,

This won't work if you don't know whether you will need 100 or 1000  
subroups. Also, if the lockloc of each objects in the template group  
is true, you don't need to position the objects separately. Just set  
the loc of the subgroup.

Then again, if you need to display 1000s of records, you will  
probably not want to do this with controls in subgroups. The user  
would get lost in such an interface. Instead, present the records in  
one window and provide a way to edit a single record in another  
window. The editing window would contain a small number of controls,  
which is more friendly to the user.

Best,

Mark
