Q:  In the process of designing an interface, I placed two buttons and one box in my window.  I sent the box to the back of the window and then resized it so it would be under the buttons.  However, the three objects move independently and I want them to move together!

A:  The geometrical superposition of a Box and other objects in the window editor does not imply the creation of a view hierarchy even if it looks that way.  To create an actual hierarchy, delete the existing box, select the other objects, and choose "Group" from the Layout menu.  This creates a new Box as the superview of those objects.  Once you have created a view hierarchy, the objects move together as a unit.

You can select one of the objects in the box by double-clicking it.  Notice that the Box editor is opened (there is a dark gray border around the Box) and you can move the objects around inside, but not out of, the boundaries of the box.
