Type
Description
Item as HITEM
A Long expression that specifies the handle of the item being queried
Long
A Long expression that specifies index of the column being grouped, or a
negative value if the item is a regular item, not a grouping item.
The GroupItem
method determines the index of the column that indicates the column being
grouped. In other words, the CellCaption(Item,GroupItem(Item) ) gets the
default caption to be displayed for the grouping item. The Ungroup
method removes all grouping items. For instance, when a column gets grouped
by, the control sorts by that column, collects the unique values being found,
and add a new item for each value found, by adding the items of the same value
as children. The ( ViewItemUpdate(exAddGroupItem) event is fired for each new item to be
inserted in the Items collection during the grouping.
