Re: Ungroup a nested group

Thanks Geoff. I inadvertently confused things in my last email by using "delete" instead of "ungroup". Ungroup of a nested group is what I need to do and using the relayerGroupedControls approach seems to work fine. Pete lcSQL Software On Mon, Mar 25, 2013 at 10:38 AM,

Re: Ungroup a nested group

yep, that's what I did in navigator way back when: set relayergroupedcontrols to true, make the changes by assigning layers (which can be tricky) and you're set. If you're deleting, I'm not sure you even need to do that. Delete group "" should work regardless of how many groups "" is nested in. gc

Ungroup a nested group

Unless I'm missing something, it looks like the ungroup command doesn't work on nested group, i.e. one that is owned by another group. The ungroup command doesn't return an error either. It feels like the only way to do this is to ungroup all the owning groups first but that seems fraught with da
