Hello
I am putting together a series of very simple UI screen designs and wondered if there was a frame GUI object available
i.e. were 3 radio buttons can be associated together or where I can 'ring fence' some elements
or is there something else which I can use as a frame?

Also is there a way of visually showing elements that are Read-only displays rather than input fields?

Guy, the only element you can use are those in the toolbar. EA is not a GUI design tool! You can just use it to make sketches.

Perhaps you can use a Boundary element. This might give you the visual effect you are looking for. However, I think you will quickly run into trouble if you try to attach any semantic meaning.
No, you can't have it!

I understand it was just that alot of other elements are there textboxes, dropdowns, comboboxes etc.
So I wondered if there was a way of adding it?

Like Thomas, I don't think there is. EA is not really focussed on UI modelling. Still, it would be nice...

What about the "panel" stereotype?
