Well my problem is, that I want to create these so called
'components', which are groups with objects in it. Let's say one
component could be a group with a button on top and an image. The
button sets the filename for the image. Now If I would let the user
resize the group, the button nor the image would scale with the group,
which would be not looking good. Of course I could use different tool
and calculate the new sizes for the objects, but the user will use the
pointer tool for other single objects, so a different tool for these
'components' would be very confusing for the user I think.
But really might be, that I need to redesing the UI idea I have come
up with.

Hi Sakari Ruoho,
I believe you have to emulate your own pointer tool. Create tiny
buttons and place them at the corners of the object you want to
change. Allow the user to drag these buttons and change the size of
the object while the buttons are dragged.
Why do you want to do this?
Best regards,

Hiya Mark,
I should learn to state my problem better.. sorry for that.
The basic idea is that I want the user to be able to use the
pointer tool where some objects can be resized and some can't. The
objects which cannot be resizen are groups with objects in them. I
call them components.
As I understand, while the pointer tool is chosen, the revolution
don't send mouseDown messages, correct?
Now the grab command would do this for me, but then I would have to
change the tool to browser and keep the pointer cursor in order to
'cheat' the user thinking that the tool is not changing. Maybe this
is the only way to achieve this, but this is why I'm asking.
Playing with cursors and tools gets the code much more messy, so I
want to avoid this if possible.
Maybe the problem is not a programming problem, but application
design one. Still lots to learn from Revolution I reckon :D
