SetGroupAssign

Syntax

SapObject.SapModel.TendonObj.SetGroupAssign

VB6 Procedure

Function SetGroupAssign(ByVal Name As String, ByVal GroupName As String, Optional Remove As Boolean = False, Optional ByVal ItemType As eItemType = Object) As Long

Parameters

Name

The name of an existing tendon object or group, depending on the value of the ItemType item.

GroupName

The name of an existing group to which the assignment is made.

Remove

If this item is False, the specified tendon objects are added to the group specified by the GroupName item. If it is True, the tendon objects are removed from the group.

ItemType

This is one of the following items in the eItemType enumeration:

Object = 0

Group = 1

SelectedObjects = 2

If this item is Object, the tendon object specified by the Name item is added or removed from the group specified by the GroupName item.

If this item is Group, all tendon objects in the group specified by the Name item are added or removed from the group specified by the GroupName item.

If this item is SelectedObjects, all selected tendon objects are added or removed from the group specified by the GroupName item, and the Name item is ignored.

Remarks

This function adds or removes tendon objects from a specified group.

The function returns zero if the group assignment is successful, otherwise it returns a nonzero value.
