Group

The Group layout block provides a control to organize other blocks into logical groups.

Note

You cannot copy any blocks and paste them into the ContainerItems node.

Inherited general properties

  • BlockID
  • Enable
  • Label
  • Show
  • Expanded

(Note: Group does not list Group itself among its inherited general properties — unlike most other blocks, since Group is itself the grouping mechanism.)

Block-specific properties

Property Name Description Access Property Type List of Values
Column Specifies the number of columns in which the contained blocks can be arranged. CIG Integer Any integer value greater than 0.
Members Specifies the list of blocks listed under the group block. G Array Object of type NXOpen.BlockStyler.PropertyList, an indexed list. Each block can be obtained by calling the GetUIBlock(Index) method on that object.
