Example

Executing the example requires that the repository contains an express report with the EXPRESS_SELECTIONMANAGER identifier that contains a chart.

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

Sub UserProc;
Var
    mb: IMetabase;
    analyzer: IEaxAnalyzer;
    chart: IEaxObject;
    objselmanager: IEaxObjectSelectionManager;
    dimselectionset: IDimSelectionSet;
    count: integer;
Begin
    // Get repository
    mb := MetabaseClass.Active;
    // Get express report
    analyzer := mb.ItemById("EXPRESS_SELECTIONMANAGER").Edit As IEaxAnalyzer;
    // Get chart
    chart := analyzer.Chart As IEaxObject;
    // Get selection control
    objselmanager := chart.SelectionManager;
    // Enable conversion of selected selection to visual selection
    objselmanager.AcceptDataSelection := True;
    // Put selections in dimensions
    objselmanager.TrackObjectSelection := True;
    // Get object with selected selections
    dimselectionset := objselmanager.ObjectSelection;
    // Display number of dimensions with selected selections
    count := dimselectionset.Count;
    Debug.WriteLine("Number of dimensions with active selections  = " + count.ToString);
    //Save changes
    (analyzer As IMetabaseObject).Save;
End Sub UserProc;

After executing the example:

The DimSelectionSet variable will store dimension selection by selection in visualizer.
The console displays number of dimensions in selection.
The conversion of selected selection to visual selection will be enabled.
