Linking Child Objects to a Group

XML objects do not support standard link objects. To link a child object to a group, you must click the child object tool in the Toolbox and then click the group symbol in the diagram. This will automatically create a link between both objects.

The following table lists the allowed links:

Tool	Action
	If you click a group symbol with the Element tool, a sequence group particle and a child element symbol are created. You can modify the group particle via its property sheet
	If you click a group symbol with the Any tool, a sequence group particle and an any symbol are created. You can modify the group particle via its property sheet
	If you click a group symbol with the Group tool, a sequence group particle and a referencing group are created. You can modify the group particle via its property sheet. You must now select a group for the reference
	If you click a group symbol with the Complex Type tool, a complex type symbol is displayed superposed, but not linked, to the group symbol. A global complex type cannot be the child of a group
	If you click a group symbol with the Sequence tool, a sequence group particle is displayed linked to the group symbol
	If you click a group symbol with the Choice tool, a choice group particle is displayed linked to the group symbol
	If you click a group symbol with the All tool, an all group particle is displayed linked to the group symbol

Note: When you cannot click a symbol or an empty space in a diagram, the Pointer displays a forbidden sign (See complex type in Tool column). When there is a possibility to create a symbol above, below or next to another one, the Pointer displays an arrow indicating the corresponding direction (See element in Tool column).
