TCubeDim.DefineProperties Method

Designates methods for storing the dimension's unpublished data on a stream such as a form file.

Pascal
procedure DefineProperties(Filer: TFiler); override;
C++
virtual __fastcall DefineProperties(TFiler Filer);

Do not call DefineProperties. It is called automatically when forms or data modules containing the dimension's decision cube component are loaded or saved. 

DefineProperties allows the dimension to load and save information as if it were a set of published property values. TCubeDim uses this method to save some of its unpublished properties, including 

an indication of whether the dimension is open or closed. 

the public StartValue property. 

DefineProperties also allows the dimension to read information that was previously saved in other formats so as to preserve backward compatibility.
