Sub UserProc;
Var
    Metabase: IMetabase;
    EaxAnalyzer: IEaxAnalyzer;

    MapShape: IVZMapChartShape;
    Layer: IVZMapChartLayer;
    ShapeId: String;
    Color: IGxColor;
Begin
    // Get the current repository
    Metabase := MetabaseClass.Active;
    // Get express report
    EaxAnalyzer := Metabase.ItemById("EXPRESS").Edit As IEaxAnalyzer;
    // Get express report map as a visualizer
    EMap := EaxAnalyzer.MapChart.MapChart;
    // Get map layer
    Layer := EMap.RootLayer.LayerById("Regions");
    // Select area
    ShapeId := Layer.Shapes.Item(20).ShapeId;
    MapShape := Layer.ShapeById(ShapeId);
    // Select area on map
    MapShape.Selected := True;
    // Set up background fill for map layer area
    Color := New GxColor.CreateRGB(47, 47, 234);
    MapShape.Background := New GxSolidBrush.Create(Color);
