Creating Group Using Flexscript?

Hi Team,

I am trying to create group using flexscript with custom name. I am using follwing code:

Group newGroup = createinstance(Group, treenode);

It is not working. I feel this syntax is not correct.

Can you help me how to proceed?

Thank you!

Software Version:

FlexSim 21.1.5

flexscript create group

For versions 22.1 and earlier (the OP's version is 21) use:

string newgroupname="MyNewGroup";
treenode groups=Model.find("Tools").subnodes.assert("Groups");
treenode group=groups.subnodes[newgroupname];
if (!group) {
    treenode group=createinstance(maintree().find("project/library/Group"),groups);
    group.name=newgroupname;
}

to add members in 17.2 and later versions use the same as Arun's answer:

Group("MyNewGroup").addMember(<objectref>);

For 17 and 17.1 use

groupaddmember(<groupname>,<objectref>)

Hi ,

Group group = Tools.create("Group"); // Create group using the new Tools API
group.name = "xyz"; // Custom name to the group

Furthermore, to add members to the group use

group.addMember();
