Editing groups and mouse messages

[Eric Chatonet]

Bonsoir Richard,

I let apart the move part of the job to focus on layering:

on MoveGroupToFront pGroup
   local tTarget,tOwner,tLayer,tPeers,tRelayerGroupedControls
   -----
   put the abbr id of grp pGroup into tTarget
   put the long owner of tTarget into tOwner
   put the layer of tOwner + 1 into tLayer
   -----
   repeat with i = the number of controls down to 1
     if the long owner of control i is tOwner then
       if the abbr id of control i is not tTarget then
         put the abbr id of control i & cr after tPeers
       end if
     end if
   end repeat
   ------
   lock screen
   set the relayerGroupedControls to true
   repeat for each line tPeer in tPeers
     set the layer of tPeer to tLayer
   end repeat
   set the relayerGroupedControls to false
   unlock screen
end MoveGroupToFront

I think this handler is a variant of something discussed on the list  
some years ago as far as I remember.
