To select objects using the Hierarchy palette

The Hierarchy palette assists with the selection and manipulation of objects.

When you select an object in the Hierarchy palette, the object is selected in the form simultaneously. However, when you make a selection in the Hierarchy palette, all keystrokes (for example, F2 or Shift+click) are directed to the Hierarchy palette until you work in the form again.

•	To display the Hierarchy palette, select Palettes > Hierarchy.

•	To select a single object in the Hierarchy palette, click the object.

•	To select multiple adjacent objects in the Hierarchy palette, click the first object and then Shift+click the last object.

•	To select multiple non-adjacent objects in the Hierarchy palette, Ctrl+click each of the objects.

•	To select a group of objects in the Hierarchy palette, click the group node.

Note:

If you select an item in the Hierarchy palette and click the Design View tab, the object is selected on the form design, and you can also use the keyboard to manipulate the selected object.
