</H2>
<P>
<B><TT>DwGroup</TT></B> represents a <I>group</I> as described in RFC-822.
A group tqcontains a group name and a (possibly empty) list of
<I>mailboxes</I>. In MIME++, a <B><TT>DwGroup</TT></B> object tqcontains a
string for the group name and a
<B><TT><A HREF="mboxlist.html">DwMailboxList</A></TT></B> object for the
list of mailboxes.
<P>
In the tree (broken-down) representation of message, a
<B><TT>DwGroup</TT></B> object may be only an intermediate node, having both
a parent and a single child node. Its parent node must be a
<B><TT><A HREF="field.html">DwField</A></TT></B> or a
<B><TT><A HREF="addrlist.html">DwAddressList</A></TT></B>. Its child is a
<B><TT>DwMailboxList</TT></B>.
<P>
A <B><TT>DwGroup</TT></B> is a
<B><TT><A HREF="address.html">DwAddress</A></TT></B>, and therefore it can
be included in a list of <B><TT>DwAddress</TT></B> objects. To get the next
<B><TT>DwAddress</TT></B> object in a list, use the inherited member function
<B><TT>DwAddress::Next()</TT></B>.

DwGroup(const DwGroup&amp; aGroup) <BR>
DwGroup(const DwString&amp; aStr, DwMessageComponent* aParent=0) </B></FONT>
<P>
The first constructor is the default constructor, which sets the
<B><TT>DwGroup</TT></B> object's string representation to the empty string
and sets its parent to <B><TT>NULL</TT></B>.
<P>
The second constructor is the copy constructor, which performs a deep copy
of <B><TT>aGroup</TT></B>. The parent of the new <B><TT>DwGroup</TT></B>
object is set to <B><TT>NULL</TT></B>.
<P>
The third constructor copies <B><TT>aStr</TT></B> to the
<B><TT>DwGroup</TT></B> object's string representation and sets
<B><TT>aParent</TT></B> as its parent. The virtual member function
<B><TT>Parse()</TT></B> should be called immediately after this constructor
in order to parse the string representation. Unless it is
<B><TT>NULL</TT></B>, <B><TT>aParent</TT></B> should point to an object of
a class derived from <B><TT>DwField</TT></B> or
<B><TT>DwAddressList</TT></B>.
<P>
<FONT COLOR="teal"><B> const DwGroup&amp; <A NAME="op_eq">operator =</A>
(const DwGroup&amp; aGroup) </B></FONT>
<P>
This is the assignment operator, which performs a deep copy of
<B><TT>aGroup</TT></B>. The parent node of the <B><TT>DwGroup</TT></B> object
is not changed.
<P>
<FONT COLOR="teal"><B> virtual void <A NAME="Parse">Parse</A>() </B></FONT>
<P>
This virtual function, inherited from <B><TT>DwMessageComponent</TT></B>,
executes the parse method for <B><TT>DwGroup</TT></B> objects. The parse
method creates or updates the broken-down representation from the string
representation. For <B><TT>DwGroup</TT></B> objects, the parse method parses
the string representation to extract the group name and to create a
<B><TT>DwMailboxList</TT></B> object from the list of mailboxes. This member
function also calls the <B><TT>Parse()</TT></B> member function of the
<B><TT>DwMailboxList</TT></B> object it creates.
<P>
You should call this member function after you set or modify the string
representation, and before you access the group name or the mailbox list.
<P>
This function clears the is-modified flag.
<P>
<FONT COLOR="teal"><B> virtual void <A NAME="Assemble">Assemble</A>()
</B></FONT>
<P>
This virtual function, inherited from <B><TT>DwMessageComponent</TT></B>,
executes the assemble method for <B><TT>DwGroup</TT></B> objects. The assemble
method creates or updates the string representation from the broken-down
representation. That is, the assemble method builds the string representation
from its group name and mailbox list. Before it builds the string representation,
this function calls the <B><TT>Assemble()</TT></B> member function of its
contained <B><TT>DwMailboxList</TT></B> object.
<P>
You should call this member function after you set or modify either the group
name or the contained <B><TT>DwMailboxList</TT></B> object, and before you
retrieve the string representation.
<P>
This function clears the is-modified flag.
<P>
<FONT COLOR="teal"><B> virtual DwMessageComponent*
<A NAME="Clone">Clone</A>() const </B></FONT>
<P>
This virtual function, inherited from <B><TT>DwMessageComponent</TT></B>,
creates a new <B><TT>DwGroup</TT></B> on the free store that has the same
value as this <B><TT>DwGroup</TT></B> object. The basic idea is that of a
virtual copy constructor.
<P>
<FONT COLOR="teal"><B> const DwString&amp;
<A NAME="GroupName">GroupName</A>() const </B></FONT>
<P>
Returns the name of the group.
<P>
<FONT COLOR="teal"><B> const DwString&amp; <A NAME="Phrase">Phrase</A>()
const </B></FONT>
<P>
Returns the name of the phrase part of a group as described in RFC-822. The
phrase is the same as the group name.
<P>
<FONT COLOR="teal"><B> void <A NAME="SetGroupName">SetGroupName</A>(const
DwString&amp; aName) </B></FONT>
<P>
Sets the name of the group.
<P>
<FONT COLOR="teal"><B> void <A NAME="SetPhrase">SetPhrase</A>(const
DwString&amp; aPhrase) </B></FONT>
<P>
Sets the name of the phrase part of a group as described in RFC-822. The
phrase is the same as the group name.
<P>
<FONT COLOR="teal"><B> Dw<A NAME="MailboxList">MailboxList</A>&amp; MailboxList()
const </B></FONT>
<P>
Provides access to the list of mailboxes that is part of a group as described
in RFC-822.
<P>
<FONT COLOR="teal"><B> static DwGroup* <A NAME="NewGroup">NewGroup</A>(const
DwString&amp; aStr, DwMessageComponent* aParent) </B></FONT>
<P>
Creates a new <B><TT>DwGroup</TT></B> object on the free store. If the static
data member <B><TT>sNewGroup</TT></B> is <B><TT>NULL</TT></B>, this member
function will create a new <B><TT>DwGroup</TT></B> and return it. Otherwise,
<B><TT>NewGroup()</TT></B> will call the user-supplied function pointed to
by <B><TT>sNewGroup</TT></B>, which is assumed to return an object from a
class derived from <B><TT>DwGroup</TT></B>, and return that object.
<P>
<FONT COLOR="teal"><B> virtual void
<A NAME="PrintDebugInfo">PrintDebugInfo</A>(ostream&amp; aStrm, int aDepth=0)
const </B></FONT>
<P>
This virtual function, inherited from <B><TT>DwMessageComponent</TT></B>,
prints debugging information about this object to <B><TT>aStrm</TT></B>.
It will also call <B><TT>PrintDebugInfo()</TT></B> for any of its child
components down to a level of <B><TT>aDepth</TT></B>.
<P>
This member function is available only in the debug version of the library.
<P>
<FONT COLOR="teal"><B> virtual void
<A NAME="CheckInvariants">CheckInvariants</A>() const </B></FONT>
<P>
Aborts if one of the invariants of the object fails. Use this member function
to track down bugs.

This member function is available only in the debug version of the library.

point to a user-supplied function that returns an object from a class derived
