Working with Views and Grouping within a view

[Rafael]

All,

I have a view that groups my contacts by category. Now, is it possible to
select a group (a category) and be able to get the category name selected
programmatically?

The issue I'm having is that the contacts within the group always have
several categories and I need to export the selected group but want to save
time in entering the desired category name every time.

I hope this is clear enough.

Regards,

Rafael

No, it is not possible to select items in the UI programmatically, nor is there any direct way to know what category the user has selected. You could, however, examine the Categories property of all the items selected to determine which category(ies) they have in common.

What that has to do with exporting data, though, is a mystery to me, unless you're writing your own export code, in which case you don't need to know the category if you know which items are selected.
