It would be nice have the drag-and-drop behavior in some box type decorations that will place a control inside it, just like Clusters. Can have also the same options to organize (AutoSizing: None, Size to Fit, Arrange Horizontally, Arrange Vertically). Nowadays, if we want to to have some graphically grouped controls, basically we have to:
- Organize the controls
- Place the decoration
- Move the decoration to back
- Resize the decoration to "hold" all controls
- Select all
- Group
I the proposed way:
- Place the decoration
- Resize the decoration
- Drag-and-drop the controls in their definitives positions
If a control needs to be added to the group, nowadays we have to:
- Select the group
- Ungroup it
- Place the new control
- Sometimes select the decoration and send it to back
- Group again
In the proposed way it will need only one step:
- Drag-and-drop the new control
In the application "1D Fourier Interpolation", an example that comes with LabVIEW, try to move the decoration that embodies the "Data Generation" controls. With the proposed idea they would move all together.
There is another gain: nowadays the Group, Ungroup and Move To Back operations are only accessible via toolbar drop-down menu.
