TypeDescription

Group A Group object being accessed. 
The Item property accesses a group by its index. Use the Group property to access a news group by its name. The Group property of the control doesn't list all the news groups on the server. The Item property does list the entire list of news groups.  Use the Count property to get the number of the news groups available on the news server. 

The following sample displays all news groups available on the news server: 

Dim n As New EXNNTPLibCtl.NNTP

Private Sub Form_Load()
    Dim g As EXNNTPLibCtl.Group
    n.Connect "news.devx.com"
    For Each g In n.Groups
        Debug.Print g.Name
    Next
    n.Disconnect
End Sub
