Add a control to a group

[Mark Schonewille]

Hi Devin,

You could export a snapshot to a variable, create an image object in the 
group and set the text of the image.

export snapshot from rect myRect to myPicture as PNG
create image "New Image" in grp "Your Group"
set the text of it to myPicture

Best regards,
