Example

Executing the example requires that the repository contains a styles table with the STYLE_TB identifier and an express report with the EAX_STYLE_MAP identifier. This report should contain a map.

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

Sub UserProc;
Var
    mb: IMetabase;
    styleSheet: IStyleSheet;
    container : IStyleContainer;
    report: IEaxAnalyzer;
    entity: IStyledEntity;
Begin
    // Get current repository
    mb := MetabaseClass.Active;
    // Get styles table
    styleSheet := mb.ItemById("STYLE_TB").Edit As IStyleSheet;
    // Get express report
    report := mb.ItemById("EAX_STYLE_MAP").Edit As IEaxAnalyzer;
    // Get map style
    entity := report.MapChart.MapChart As IStyledEntity;
    // Display style text tag in the console window
    Debug.WriteLine(entity.ContainerTag);
    // Set type of styles table in use
    entity.SheetType := StyleSheetType.InternalObject;
    // Add a styles container to styles table
    container := styleSheet.Add;
    // Specify container key
    entity.ContainerKey := container.Key;
    // Set style container name
    container.Name := "Style for express report map";
    // Unload map style to container
    entity.SaveStyleToContainer(container);
    // Save style view
    container.Preview.SaveToFile("C:\MapStylePreview.png");
    // Save styles table
    (styleSheet As IMetabaseObject).Save;
End Sub UserProc;

After executing the example the map style from the EAX_STYLE_MAP express report is exported to the STYLE_TB external styles table.
