Hi,
I'm creating 4 layers (in 2 different procedures) and want to group them
so something like this

Procedure 1
With LineTestImageEnView do
begin
LockUpdate();
Layers[ 1 ].GroupIndex := 333;
Layers[ 2 ].GroupIndex := 333;
UnlockUpdate();
end;

Procedure 2
With LineTestImageEnView do
begin
LockUpdate();
Layers[ 3 ].GroupIndex := 666;
Layers[ 4 ].GroupIndex := 666;
UnlockUpdate();
end;

Layers 3 & 4 are correctly assigned to groupindex 666 but not 1 & 2(groupindex is zero)

I was wondering if there was something I'm missing?

Kind regards,
Adrian

Hi Adrian

Are you sure? Are you checking Layer[n].GroupIndex or CurrentLayer.GroupIndex (as the layer index has changed). There are actually very few things that will automatically reset GroupIndex.

Hi Nigel,
I think I've narrowed it down.

The groupindex's are successfully created. Checked with your showmessage code below.

I then used the following to enable to move the group

LineTestImageEnView.MouseInteractLayers:= [miMoveLayers];

I can move the group and the group index is still correct. Checked with your showmessage code below.

However If I click off the group (just onto the background image) then the groupindex changes to zero and you can then only select the individual layers.

Also if i dont click on the background but click on a button with the following code

LineTestImageEnView.MouseInteractLayers := [];
Then the groupindex changes to zero.

Repeating
LineTestImageEnView.MouseInteractLayers:= [miMoveLayers];
Highlights the layers but the groupindex is still zero.

Kind regards,
Adrian

Hi Adrian

I think something else might be going on here.

I assume the following returns the expected values?

With LineTestImageEnView do
  ShowMessage( Layers[ 1 ].GroupIndex.ToString + '/' + Layers[ 3 ].GroupIndex.ToString );

With LineTestImageEnView do
begin
  LockUpdate();
  Layers[ 1 ].GroupIndex := 333;
  Layers[ 2 ].GroupIndex := 333;
  UnlockUpdate();
end;

With LineTestImageEnView do
  ShowMessage( Layers[ 1 ].GroupIndex.ToString + '/' + Layers[ 3 ].GroupIndex.ToString );

With LineTestImageEnView do
begin
  LockUpdate();
  Layers[ 3 ].GroupIndex := 666;
  Layers[ 4 ].GroupIndex := 666;
  UnlockUpdate();
end;

With LineTestImageEnView do
  ShowMessage( Layers[ 1 ].GroupIndex.ToString + '/' + Layers[ 3 ].GroupIndex.ToString );
