    Target: IUiCommandTarget;
    Context: IUiCommandExecutionContext;
    Res: Variant;
Begin
    Rep := UiReport1.Instance As IPrxReport;
    SelSet := Rep.GetBulkSelectionSet("1,2");
    //Selection of all elements in the first dimension
    //This selection is displayed for dimension in the dialog
    SelSet.Item(0).Selection.SelectAll;
    Target := WinApplication.Instance.GetPluginTarget("Report");
    Context := Target.CreateExecutionContext;
    Context.Data := SelSet;
    Res := Target.Execute("ShowBulkPrintDialogEx", Context);
