In brief, there's no way to interactively create controls inside of groups.
I'm not quite sure what you mean by "there's no way to interactively create controls inside of groups"...I'm pretty sure I'm doing it.
What you can't do with the current implementation of groups is put your mouse over the scrolling group and draw a circle. You can have a button (as in a toolbar) paste a circle in the group and have the user then move and size it. But they can not drag a circle interactively in a group from scratch.
This applies to every other object as well.
Thanks for the clarification, Mark. I think I need to find a better word than "interactively" to distinguish what I'm describing, since Frank's not the first person to miss that.
This is described in greater detail at: <http://www.runrev.com/revolution/developers/bugdatabase/show_bug.cgi?id=623>
If you need to make an app which contains a drawing environment you may wish to vote for that one, and also:
<http://www.runrev.com/revolution/developers/bugdatabase/show_bug.cgi?id=624>
If the value of these seems questionable one remedy would be to have a bake-off: get two new users and sit them down with Rev and SuperCard and have them make a drawing app. The SuperCard user will be done in a few hours while the Rev user will be posting for days here looking for help and still never get the standard drawing app behaviors.....
