	Hi ! Im working on a big project using containerNode and shapeNode and so on... I have a big trouble for which I cannot find any solution... And I have been searching for a while now... I have many containers with shapeNode or other Container in it. When I load my project I restore the old diagram and add nodes into my container.. Then I restore the layout and call the Move function on the container with the stored positions. My issue is that when I move a container it moves all the objects contained in it, which is cool when i drag stuff with the mouse but not in that case. So I would like to be able to set the postion of a container without affecting any of its child objects... I tried the Move method, settings the bounds and so on but I always have the same problem. Do you have any idea on how I can do that ? Thanks ! Yrauma

	Hi there, You can do that by calling the SetBounds method with its updateGroups argument set to false: container.SetBounds(newBound, false, true); You might set the third argument to true as well to disable updating the links' positions. The Bounds property setter calls that method with both arguments true. I hope that helps, Stoyan

	Yes, it was added to the control with the V5.3.2 release. If you don't wish to move to that version, you could change your code a bit to first restore the layout and than add nodes to their containers. I hope that helps, Stoyan

	Yes, that's what I did, it's hacky but works while we do not update the version. Thanks a lot for your help Stoyan !!!
