Block UI Styler > Block Catalog > Layout
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. |
