DataGroup |

The DataGroup subordinate object is used to define a data group to which a view or data source has been assigned. One object is defined for each assigned group. DataGroup corresponds to the pvxview.grp and pvxview.gpd files.
For information on the pvxview.grp and pvxview.gpd file structures, see Views System File Structures. Properties are read only and are set using corresponding Setxxx( ) methods.
