Example

Executing the example requires that the repository contains a table dictionary with the D_TO identifier.

Add links to the Dimensions, Metabase system assemblies.

Sub UserProc;
Var
    MB: IMetabase;
    DimModel: IDimensionModel;
    Index: IDimIndex;
    IndAtr: IDimIndexAttributes;
    Atr: IDimAttribute;
Begin
    // Get current repository
    MB := MetabaseClass.Active;
    // Get dictionary
    DimModel := MB.ItemById("D_TO").Bind As IDimensionModel;
    // Get the first dictionary index
    Index := DimModel.Indexes.Item(0);
    If Index <> Null Then
        // Get attributes of the first dictionary index
        IndAtr := Index.Attributes;
        // Search for attribute by key
        Atr := IndAtr.FindByKey(2);
        If Atr <> Null Then
            Debug.WriteLine("Found attribute name: " + Atr.Name);
        Else
            Debug.WriteLine("Attribute is not found");
        End If;
    End If;
End Sub

After executing the example the attribute with the 2 key is searched in the dictionary first index. If the attribute is found, its name is displayed in the console window.
