    Target: IUiCommandTarget;
    Context: IUiCommandExecutionContext;
    Data: Array;
Begin
    Rep := UiReport1.Instance As IPrxReport;
    Target := WinApplication.Instance.GetPluginTarget("Report");
    Context := Target.CreateExecutionContext;
    Data := New Variant[2];
    Data[0] := Rep.DataIslands.Item(0);
    Data[1] := PrxDataIslandCategory.Placement + PrxDataIslandCategory.Sort;
    Context.Data := Data;
    Target.Execute("DataIslandSetup", Context);
