itemnquery and qlayer not found, NAME vs GROUP

[Wim Blanken]

Hello Ken,

Just had the same problem with an app we are developing....
It seems you are right about the itemnquery problem, the documentation
is clearly wrong about this.
I had to merge my query layers (point, line and polygon)  into one polygon
layer to get this working......
Would be nice if this worked with groups.

Kind Regards,

Wim Blanken
