This is not quite correct - groups are controls. (Expressions like 
"the name of control 3" treat groups as controls, for example.) But 
they don't receive mouse messages directly.

I think this makes some conceptual sense - although it's confusing - 
because groups aren't user-interface objects in and of themselves. As 
containers for other objects, they're more abstract.
