Help on Grouped Shape !!!

C

CyberBhai

I have a group of two shapes, one is either a Rectangle or Circle and the
other is a shadowed textbox created by pasting a text and shadowing it.

My Requirement:
---------------------------------
Of the group I should be able to move the textbox not the other shape. Means
if I click on the group, the group will be selected and I can move the entire
group. If I click for the second time it selects the Shape One and if I click
on the text shape it selects that one. Then after selection of the textbox I
should be able to move that beyond the boundary of the group, but the same
should not be for the Shape One, i,e, the non-text based shape.

This I need for my application as grouped shape on second click selects the
shape One and user can drag that beyond the boundary which I do not need, the
same is needed for only the textbox.

CyberBhai,

Click to select the group then click to select the rectangle or circle you
want to protect. Right click and select Format -> Protection. Check the From
selection box and click OK. You might get a message stating that you must
protect shapes in the drawing explorer. To do this select View -> Windows ->
Drawing Explorer. Right click the drawing name in the Drawing Explorer and
select Protect Document. Check shapes and press OK.

You can click once to select the group. You can click again to select the
text and move it around. You cannot select the rectangle or circle.
