Syntax

Selection([Update: Boolean = True]): IEaxObjectSelection;

Parameters

Update. Attribute that selection will be changed.

Description

Example

Executing the example requires that repository contains express report with the EAX_SEL_MANAGER identifier. This report should contain the table with several selected areas.

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

Sub UserProc;
Var
    mb: IMetabase;
    Report: IEaxAnalyzer;
    SelManager: IEaxObjectSelectionManager;
    ObjSel: IEaxObjectSelection;
    i, j: Integer;
    SelSet: IDimSelectionSet;
    Sel: IDimSelection;
Begin
    // Get current repository
    mb := MetabaseClass.Active;
    // Get express report
    Report := mb.ItemById("EAX_SEL_MANAGER").Bind As IEaxAnalyzer;
    // Get object to work with selection used to build data table
    SelManager := Report.Grid.SelectionManager;
    // Get selection in the table
    ObjSel := SelManager.Selection;
    If ObjSel.Count > 0 Then
        // Display selection corresponding to areas selected in the table
        For i := 0 To ObjSel.Count - 1 Do
            Debug.WriteLine("Selection set " + (i + 1).ToString);
            Debug.Indent;
            SelSet := ObjSel.Item(i);
            For j := 0 To SelSet.Count - 1 Do
                Sel := SelSet.Item(j);
                Debug.WriteLine("Dimension selections '" + Sel.Dimension.Name + "'");
                Debug.Indent;
                Debug.WriteLine(Sel.ToString);
                Debug.Unindent;
            End For;
            Debug.Unindent;
            Debug.WriteLine("");
        End For;
        // Display spliced selection corresponding to all areas selected in the table
        Debug.WriteLine("Spliced set of selections");
        Debug.Indent;
        SelSet := ObjSel.Combined;
        For j := 0 To SelSet.Count - 1 Do
            Sel := SelSet.Item(j);
            Debug.WriteLine("Dimension selection '" + Sel.Dimension.Name + "'");
            Debug.Indent;
            Debug.WriteLine(Sel.ToString);
            Debug.Unindent;
        End For;
        Debug.Unindent;
    End If;
End Sub UserProc;

After executing the example, the console window displays selection corresponding to each selected area in the table and selection corresponding to all selected areas in the table.
