How to select a many widgets?

[wysota]

You have to start dragging from an empty part of form with no widgets (even containers) under the pointer.

Yes. Thank you. But it's not natural. If I wanna select a group of children widgets of a container (or many nested containers), I have to select from the 0-level (form), over those containers, then to those children, and deselect the containers. Easier than selecting widgets one by one, but still unnatural. It could be worse if those children are surrounded by many other widgets that I don't want to select.

I completely agree.

Qt is open-source. Feel free to implement an appropriate fix.

Thanks. I just want to check if an experienced user like you knows how to use the designer...
Have a nice day!

Hi,

Had the same issue at first using Borland Delphi / C++ Builder. In the Borland IDE, you can hold CTRL and then drag a rectangle if. This works also if the widgets are on a parent container.

Who launches a feature request, or who implements this ? Anyone ?
