Initiate dragging

I am not having any luck here so any guidence would be appreciated…
Some of my objects on my palatte have “whitespace” or transparent areas. What I am trying to do is force the selection and initiate dragging whenever a mousedown is within the bounds of a group…not necessarily on one of the child objects…
Any thoughts…? I tried overriding a gazillion things in the GoToolDragging, and can get the object to select but the drag wan’t start…

Try setting GoGroup.PickableBackground to true. That will change the behavior of the various Pick methods to include a group even though the point is not in any of the child objects of the group.
Shouldn’t have any need to customize any tools or GoView or anything for this. If PickableBackground doesn’t do what you want, then you could override GoObject.Pick.
