I'll try to explain.

The ability to make buttons or other objects a child of another object 
after they where placed on a form.
So you select them and say they must become a child object of the first 
selected object. (for example a frame you added after those objects)

Normaly you select an object and drag another to it, but now I want to 
do it afterwards.

Kinda like group function in Visio.

But since no one besides Benoit replied, I guess i'm doing something 
wrong, or it is already there somewhere, or it's not a big deal.

Regards,
Ron.
