Requesting Group Information
Program Manager can provide information about its groups to an application. Applications can request this information from Program Manager by using the Progman topic.
An application can obtain a list of Program Manager groups by issuing a request for the Group item. Program Manager provides the list in CF_TEXT format. The list consists of group name strings separated by carriage returns.
An application can use a group name as an item name to request information about the group. Program Manager provides this information in CF_TEXT format. The fields of group information are separated by commas. The first line of the information contains the group name (in quotation marks), the path of the group file, and the number of items in the group. Each subsequent line contains information about an item in the group, including the command line (in quotation marks), the default directory, the icon path, the position in the group, the icon index, the shortcut key (in numeric form), and the minimize flag.
