Feature request - Design time.
Hi,
Maybe I'm missing something.
I have a large complicated report that took days to design.
I have many ppShape components, with mutliple ppDBText components on top of
these, to get the desired effect etc.
Now I need to move one such area on the page to another area.
To select each of these components is time consuming, and one often misses
some, when the shape, and DBText almost same size.
What would be really cool is to be able to select a region on a report,
almost like a cropping tool, align it to the region you are interested in,
then press a button, and all components behind the region indicated by the
tool are selected at once!
This will be a major time saver, for cut and paste, and nudge opperations in
a very complex report
Thanks, and I would like to know if you could perhaps include this in a next
release.
