Hi,
The problem is you cannot select anything with box select (you found out
yourself). This is because as soon as you use mouse down, LV drags the
picture, instead of starting a selection rectangle.
The only solution is to move the picture to a non working area, and move it
back when you are finished. This can be done automatically. You can get a
reference to the front panel, get an array with all decorations, and pick
the picture reference from this array. You can set the position using a
property node. This way, you can move the picture away when editing, and you
don't have to move it back.
Another way of dealing with this is to select controls and indicators by
clicking them with shift hold down.
Regards,
Wiebe.
