Fantastic! Cantselect -- I learn something new all the time....
Actually setting the cantselect of the group to true keeps all its
component controls from being selected, so I don't even have to do
them individually. Solves the problem nicely. Thanks, and thanks to
Jacque, who responded with a briefer version of the same thing.

If you set each of the controls' cantselect to true then you can
select the
group but not the individual controls (even with the
selectgroupedcontrols
set to true). So long as the cantdelete of the group is set to true
then the
controls will be 'protected' from a delete.

But if a group's cantDelete property is true, it protects the group
from being deleted but not its contents. Doing a "select all" and
then
hitting the delete key deletes the objects themselves, no matter if
the group's cantDelete property is true or false. And in that case
the
group is not deleted (no matter if the group's cantDelete property is
true or false) -- it just has no controls in it any more. There is no
cantDelete property for controls themselves.
I'll have to store the group in a stack and store the stack in a
customProp.

Is there a way to store a background group of buttons as a

(in a
utility) that a user in the IDE might do a "select all" and delete
all
controls on a card, and I want to ensure that I can easily place the
deleted buttons back on the card again as a background group. If
there's a way to store the group as a customProp that would be the
easiest way of preserving it -- then I could just retrieve the group
and place it again.
You should be able to prevent such deletion by setting the group's
cantDelete property.
