Group and Ungroup a collection of annotations

[lidds]

I was wondering if there is a way that I can Group a selection of annotations together, and allowing the following:

Example:

There are 3 annotation lines.
Select all 3 lines
Right click and select group
When selecting any of the 3 annotation lines it selects all 3

And therefore:

1. Displayed as one element in the comment pane as a group instead of 3 individual lines.
2. All 3 lines move together.
3. Ability to also Ungroup.

I could not see this feature in the FullDemo, and understand that it might not be out the box, but if you have any thoughts on how to achieve this.

Thanks

Hello Simon,

1) You cannot display them as 1 element at all - as this requires full rewriting of the pane's logic.
2) Theoretically, you can make something like groups in your application, by storing the IPXC_AnnotsList with annotations that are in the group. Then, when selecting the annotation, you can check, whether the annotation is in that group and select the rest of them. For this you should listen to the e.docSelection.changed event and act correspondingly. The same event will occur, when selecting in the Comments Pane.
3) To ungroup the elements, simply remove the needed IPXC_AnnotsList.

Cheers,
Alex
