Remarks 

Naming a group is optional.  This property allows the user to specify a name, therefore a unique 

name must be provided when setting the value for this property. 

The server will generate a unique name for the group, if no name is specified, on the Add method of 

the OPCGroups object. 

Example 

VB Syntax Example (getting the property): 

Dim CurrentValue As String 

Set OneGroup = MyGroups.Add( “AnOPCGroupName” ) 

CurrentValue = OneGroup.Name 

VB Syntax Example (setting the property): 

Set OneGroup = MyGroups.Add( “AnOPCGroupName” ) 

OneGroup.Name = “aName”
