If no group is already present in the selection of elements, when Group is
selected from the contextual menu, the selected elements are grouped and the
Insert a Group popup window is displayed.
A new group can be named in the text field and the foreground and background
colour of the new group line can also be defined from the standard ‘colour palette
window’ of windows XP. When the operation is validated by clicking on OK, a new
comment line in the play-list replaces all selected elements. The comment element
text displays the group name and its on-air duration if the properties of the
grouped elements allow the calculation to be made (start modes are set to
automatic).

When the users select a group of elements in the list (only that line of the list),
they can ungroup the elements back to the original separate elements.
When Ungroup is selected from the Edit Play-List contextual menu, the comment
line is removed from the list and the corresponding elements, which were part of
the group are displayed in the list.
