Pins or unpins an element in the Data Portal. You can pin only channel groups and channels.

Object.Pin(Element, Pin)

Object	Structure Object with this method
Element	Element <Data> Specifies the element to be pinned. Elements can be channel groups and channels. When you pin a group, DIAdem pins all channels of this group.
Pin	Boolean Specifies whether DIAdem pins the specified data element (TRUE) or unpins the element (FALSE).

The following example checks whether the time channel in the first channel group is pinned. If the channel is not pinned, the example pins the channel:

End If

oMyElement = dd.Data.Root.ChannelGroups(1).Channels("time") 
if not dd.Portal.Structure.IsElementPinned(oMyElement) :
