IPrxDataIslandDimensionLayout.Build

Syntax

Parameters

Selection. Selection in dimension.

Description

The Build method adds elements corresponding to selected dimension elements to arbitrary layout.

Comments

Depending on values combinations of the PreserveDimensionElementsOrder and MergeWithSelection properties the Build method works as follows:

PreserveDimensionElementsOrder	MergeWithSelection	Build method effect
False	False	None.
False	True	Adds selection elements, missing in the arbitrary layout.
True	False	Restores order for existing elements of the arbitrary layout.
True	True	Restores order for existing elements of arbitrary layout, adding selection elements missing in the arbitrary layout.

Example

Executing the example requires a regular report with the REPORT identifier. This report must contain a data area containing a slice with dimension with the DIMENSION identifier.

Sub UserProc;
Var
    MB: IMetabase;
    Report: IPrxReport;
    DataIsland: IPrxDataIsland;
    DimS: IPrxSliceDimension;
    Dim: IPrxDataIslandDimension;
Begin
    MB := MetabaseClass.Active;
    Report := MB.ItemById("REPORT").Edit As IPrxReport;
    DataIsland := Report.DataIslands.Item(0).Edit;
        DimS := DataIsland.Slice.Dimensions.FindById("DIMENSION") As IPrxSliceDimension;
        Dim := DataIsland.Properties.Dimension(DimS.Dimension.Dimension);
        Dim.CustomLayout := True;
        Dim.Layout.MergeWithSelection := True;
        Dim.Layout.Build(DimS.Selection);
        Dim.Layout.Save;
    DataIsland.Save;
    (Report As IMetabaseObject).Save;
End Sub UserProc;

After executing the example for a dimension with the DIMENSION identifier the arbitrary layout with adding all elements of the dimension selection is set up. After that the report with all changes is saved.
