storing a group as a customProperty

[Terry Judd]

If you set each of the controls' cantselect to true then you can select the
group but not the individual controls (even with the selectgroupedcontrols
set to true). So long as the cantdelete of the group is set to true then the
controls will be 'protected' from a delete.
