Var
pDim : IDimInstance;
pManager: IDimOrmManager;
pCriteria : IDimTextCriteria;
pFactory : IDimSelectionSetFactory;
pSelections : IDimSelectionSet;
pSelection : IDimSelection;
Begin
pManager := New DimOrmManager.Create;
pDim := dcCountries.Selection.Dimension;
pFactory := New DimSelectionSetFactory.Create;
pSelections := pFactory.CreateDimSelectionSet;
pSelection := pSelections.Add(pDim);
pCriteria := New DimTextCriteria.Create;
pCriteria.CriteriaOptions := TextCriteriaOptions.FreeText Or TextCriteriaOptions.SearchName;
pCriteria.Text := txtPattern.Text;
pManager.SelectElements(pCriteria, pSelections);
pSelection.CopyTo(dcCountries.Selection, True);
