Selecting Components & Containers

From KickApps API Reference

There are 4 ways to select a single component or container.

1. Click on it!



2. Click on its listing in the Layers panel.



3. If the item you want to select is part of a container, double-click on its container, then single click on the component you want to select.



4. If you're working with multiple nested containers, you can always keep track of which container you're in by looking at the breadcrumb trail across the top of the stage. The container that you're in is the last one listed. If you need to select a parent container of the one that you're in, just click on its link.

There are 2 ways to select multiple components or containers.

1. Click on the stage and drag out a selection area that touches each component and/or container that you want to select.



2. Hold down the SHIFT key while clicking on the items you want to select.

Selected items can be moved together. With multiple items selected, click on one of the selected items and drag. All selected items will move with your cursor.
