CONST_DPGROUPFLAGS

Members of the CONST_DPGROUPFLAGS enumeration are used in the DirectPlay4.CreateGroup and DirectPlay4.CreateGroupInGroup methods to specify the type of group being created, and are returned by the DirectPlay4.GetGroupFlags method.

Enum CONST_DPGROUPFLAGS
    DPGROUP_DEFAULT =        0
    DPGROUP_HIDDEN =      4096 (&H1000)
    DPGROUP_LOCAL =          8 
    DPGROUP_STAGINGAREA = 2048 (&H800)
End Enum

DPGROUP_DEFAULT

The group has none of the following characteristics.

DPGROUP_HIDDEN

The group is hidden. In a lobby session, hidden groups are available only through shortcuts created with DirectPlay4.AddGroupToGroup. This flag works much like the DPPLAYER_SPECTATOR flag for players.

DPGROUP_LOCAL

The group was created by this application. If this flag is not specified, the group is a remote group.

DPGROUP_STAGINGAREA

The group is a staging area. A staging area is used to marshal players together in order to launch a new session.
