Example

Executing the example requires that repository contains virtual cube with the VIRT_CUBE identifier.

Add links to the Cubes, Dimensions, Metabase system assemblies.

Sub UserProc;
Var
    MB: IMetabase;
    Cube: IVirtualCube;
    CDim: ICompoundDimension;
    Params: IMetabaseObjectParamValues;
    CDimInst: ICompoundDimensionInstance;
Begin
    // Get repository
    MB := MetabaseClass.Active;
    // Get virtual cube
    Cube := MB.ItemById("VIRT_CUBE").Edit As IVirtualCube;
    // Get data of composite dimension
    CDim := Cube.FactDimension As ICompoundDimension;
    Params := (CDim As IMetabaseObject).Params.CreateEmptyValues;
    CDimInst := (CDim As IMetabaseObject).Open(Params) As ICompoundDimensionInstance;
    Select Case (CDimInst.Type As Integer)
        Case 1: Debug.WriteLine("Type of composite dimension - regular");
        Case 2: Debug.WriteLine("Type of composite dimension - metahierarchy");
    End Select;
End Sub UserProc;

After executing the example the console displays type of virtual cube composite dimension.
