TMGR: GroupBy Method Does Not Support All Interface Options

ID: Q150112

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Team Manager 97

SYMPTOMS

The grouping commands available in Microsoft Team Manager offer options to Calculate Totals and Show Summary Tasks. These options are not exposed through the Microsoft Team Manager Visual Basic Object Library.

WORKAROUND

There is no workaround for this behavior.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the products listed at the beginning of this article. We are researching this problem and will post more information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

MORE INFORMATION

In the Microsoft Team Manager Object Library, the GroupBy method supports the following parameters

   CurrentView.GroupBy

      Key1 as String
      Ascending1 As Variant
      Key2 as String
      Ascending2 As Variant
      Key3 as String
      Ascending3 As Variant

where Key<n> is the field name which to group by, and Ascending<n> defines if the key should be grouped in ascending or descending order.

However, within Microsoft Team Manager, the Custom Grouping command also includes the following two options:

     Calculate Totals
     Show Summary Tasks

NOTE: When using the GroupBy method, the Show Summary Tasks option is always set to TRUE, and the Calculate Totals should not be changed from its original state.
