IDimIterator.First

Syntax

First;

Description

The First method moves to starting position of the iterator. After the method is called, the cursor points at the element with the index -1.

Example

Sub UserProc;
Var
    MB: IMetabase;
    Dimen: IDimInstance;
    Elem: IDimElements;
    ElemArr: IDimElementArray;
    Iter: IDimIterator;
Begin
    MB := MetabaseClass.Active;
    Dimen := MB.ItemById("D_TO").Open(Null) As IDimInstance;
    Elem := Dimen.Elements;
    ElemArr := Elem.Children(10);
    Iter := ElemArr.Iterator;
    Iter.First;
    While Iter.Next Do
        Debug.WriteLine(Elem.Name(Iter.Element));
    End While;
End Sub UserProc;

Executing the example creates an iterator based on the array of elements named ElemArr. While iterating through element, the development environment console shows names of corresponding dictionary elements.
