Example

The following example creates a cube command and assigns it to the first cube in the MDStores collection of the FoodMart 2000 database. It then prints some of the properties of the parent object by using the Parent property of the cube command object.

Dim dsoServer As New DSO.Server
Dim dsoDB As DSO.MDStore
Dim dsoCube As DSO.MDStore
Dim dsoDBCmd As DSO.Command
Dim dsoCubeCmd As DSO.Command

' Connect to the Analysis server.
    dsoServer.Connect "LocalHost"

' Get a reference to the FoodMart 2000 database.
    Set dsoDB = dsoServer.MDStores("FoodMart 2000")

' Get the first cube in the database's collection.
    Set dsoCube = dsoDB.MDStores(1)
    Debug.Print "Cube.Name = " & dsoCube.Name

' Add the command to the cube's collection.
    Set dsoCubeCmd = dsoCube.Commands.AddNew("TempCommand")
    Debug.Print "Cube.Commands(""TempCommand"").Name =" & _
        dsoCube.Commands("TempCommand").Name

' Print the properties of the command's 
' Parent object.
    Debug.Print "   .Parent properties" & vbCrLf & _
        "   -----------"
    Debug.Print "   TypeName(dsoCubeCmd.Parent) = " & _
        TypeName(dsoCubeCmd.Parent)
    If dsoCubeCmd.Parent.ClassType = clsCube Then
        Debug.Print "   .ClassType = clsCube"
    Else
        Debug.Print "This line should never be executed."
    End If
    Debug.Print "   .Description = " & dsoCubeCmd.Parent.Description
    Debug.Print "   .Name = " & dsoCubeCmd.Parent.Name

    dsoCube.Commands.Remove ("TempCommand")
