TM1 API: evoking subset editor screen

[fcapell]

Hi Everyone!

I have a C# Application and I need to provide a way for the user select a dimension element.

Is there a way to evoke the TM1 subset editor screen from a C# application?

Thanks,

Fausto

Have you tried the following code?

mySubsets = myServer.Dimensions[dimension_name].PublicSubsets;
sSubset = mySubsets[subset_name];

Hi Fausto.

I work with the API a lot, and I seriously doubt it. There may be a way to hack into the COM dlls in the TM1 program folder, but it's certainly not a supported behavior.

I would suggest writing a dialog in your application that contains a .NET TreeView control and populating that with the dimension elements you wish to select from. If the dimension is particularly large, you'll need to make sure you implement some sort of paging.

This is really how the API is intended to be used. It does not contain any UI elements, just provides you with access to read and modify all the data structures in the TM1 server.

I have written a full subset editor in C# in the past and it is complex, but not too hard if it's read-only.

Good luck!
