Another useful thing which I'm not sure is particularly visible (but is 
in the dictionary!) is the group 'clipsToRect' property.

When 'the clipsToRect' is set to true you get a group which acts like 
lockLocation is set, but is resizable. In  this case the group's size is 
determined purely by the rect it has set, and not the union of the 
rectangles of its children.

This might have been mentioned somewhere else in this thread, but its 
probably worth repeating if so as a group with clipsToRect true, and a 
resizeControl handler makes a good base for a custom control.

Warmest Regards,

Mark.
