IEaxDataAreaHierarchy.ElementStyle

Syntax

ElementStyle(Element: Variant): IEaxDataAreaCellStyle;

Parameters

Element. Calculated element identifier.

Description

The ElementStyle property determines cell formatting style for alternative hierarchy element.

Comments

To get identifier of calculated element, use the IDimInstance.Id property.

Example

Executing the example requires that the repository contains an express report with the EXPRESS_REPORT identifier. One of dimensions must contain at least one alternative hierarchy.

Add links to the Dimensions, Express, Metabase, Tab system assemblies.

Sub UserProc;
Var
    MB: IMetabase;
    Express: IEaxAnalyzer;
    Hier: IEaxDataAreaHierarchy;
    DimSel: IDimSelection;
    DimEl: String;
    CellStyle: IEaxDataAreaCellStyle;
    CellFont: ITabFont;
Begin
    MB := MetabaseClass.Active;
    Express := MB.ItemById("EXPRESS_REPORT").Edit As IEaxAnalyzer;
    // Get alternative hierarchy and first element
    Hier := Express.DataArea.Hierarchies.Item(0);
    DimSel := Hier.Selection;
    DimSel.SelectAll;
    DimEl := DimSel.Dimension.Elements.Id(DimSel.Element(0));
    // New style for element
    CellStyle := New EaxDataAreaCellStyle.Create;
    // Alignment in element header
    CellStyle.Header.HorizontalAlignment := TabFormatAlignment.Center;
    // Font in data area by element
    CellFont := CellStyle.Data.Font;
    CellFont.Name := "Arial";
    CellFont.Italic := TriState.OnOption;
    CellStyle.Data.Font := CellFont;
    // Set new style for element
    Hier.ElementStyle(DimEl) := CellStyle;
    // Refresh and save changes
    Express.RefreshAll;
    (Express As IMetabaseObject).Save;
End Sub UserProc;

After executing the example the formatting style is set for the first element of alternative hierarchy: element header text is aligned by center; italic font style is set for cells with data.
