const L_TCHAR * pszName;	/* group name */
LVectorGroup *pVectorGroup;	/* pointer to a vector group object */

Gets the group with the specified name, in the class object's associated vector handle.

Parameter	Description
pszName	Character string that contains the name of the group to get.
pVectorGroup	Pointer to an LVectorGroup object to be updated with the group handle, if the group is found. If the group is not found, this function will return ERROR_VECTOR_GROUP_NOT_FOUND.
