    <p>I've had this problem several times now, and never found a satisfactory solution: If I want to move a group of items with a view all together in Interface Builder, and these items are all on top of a larger background item, I can't put a selection rectangle around the items in the view because any click and drag in the view initiates a move of the background item. In other words, every pixel in the area I'm interested in (and nearby) has a "hand" mouse pointer, no "arrow" pointer is available so I can't drag out a rectangle selection box.</p> <p>cmd-clicking individual items to build up the group only works when they are separate, and only when there are a few of them. Sometimes I want to select a "pile" of items all on top of each other.</p> <p>Is there some way to "select for moving" by clicking in the .xib item list? Double clicking a single item selects it for moving in the view, but I have't found a way to add to the "select for moving" selection this way.</p> <p>So far the best way I've found is temporarily moving the background out of the way and then putting it back but this is unsatisfactory, and wouldn't work with a more complex background arrangement.</p> <p>How have others done this?</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
