The following example displays the channel list with references to all the channels in the default channel group, in the syntax that the ExtendChnName variable specifies:

Dim sChannelList, oMyGroup
Set oMyGroup = Data.Root.ActiveChannelGroup
sChannelList = oMyGroup.Channels.GetReference(ExtendChnName)
Call MsgBoxDisp (sChannelList)

oMyGroup = dd.Data.Root.ActiveChannelGroup 
sChannelList = oMyGroup.Channels.GetReference(dd.ExtendChnName) 
dd.MsgBoxDisp (sChannelList)
