Editing groups and mouse messages

[Eric Chatonet]

Bonsoir Richard,

I have the same behavior in an app of mine, written two years ago and  
used every day...
I have groups composed with an image and buttons that belong  
themselves to a main group.
When the user clicks such a sub group, I bring it to top and allow to  
move it.
I have no time right now to dig in the code I used but I'll have a  
look during the week-end.
But a thing is already sure, I don't use 'edit mode': it's actually  
not necessary and sounds dangerous :-)
