Use the "control type" property of the datagrid:

if (the dgProp["control Type"] of grp theGroupName is "Data Grid") then
    doSomething
end if




Best Regards,

I know this has been asked before, but I'm not sure the answers were comprehensive. I could check to see if it had a parent script, but then any group with a parent script that was not a data grid would pass that test.
