TCubeDims.Items Property

Lists all dimension items maintained by the TCubeDims object.

Pascal

property Items [Index: Integer]: TCubeDim;

C++

__property TCubeDim Items[int Index];

Description

Use Items to access individual dimensions or summaries maintained by the TCubeDims object. The first TCubeDim object has an Index of 0, the second has an Index of 1, and so on.

Each TCubeDim object in the Items array represents a field from the data set of a decision cube. Each item represents either a dimension (a field over which data is summarized), or a summary (a value summarized over the dimensions).

In Delphi code, Items is the default property of TCubeDims. This means that the name of the Items property can be eliminated from code that uses the Items property. Thus, the line

Copy Code

DecisionCube1.DimensionMap.Items[0].ActiveFlag := diAsNeeded;

could be written

Copy Code

DecisionCube1.DimensionMap[0].ActiveFlag := diAsNeeded;

Note: Do not change the Items property. The set of items in the Items array is set automatically to represent the fields from the data set. The properties of individual TCubeDim objects within the Items array may be changed to specify whether they should be cached by the data store, the name to use when displaying them, and so on.
