Add-ins to get the extended classes in DAX 2009

In AOT if you want to know for specific classes , what all child classes are extending this than have a look in following add-in .

Step1 : Create Job with following code.

static void TST_getExtendedClasses(Args _args)

{

    TreeNode        treeNode;

    SysDictClass    dictClass;

    List            extendedClassList;

    ListEnumerator  listEnumerator;

    SysContextMenu  contextMenu;

    Str             className, message;

    Counter         i;

    ;

    SysContextMenu::startedFrom(_args);

    contextMenu = _args.parmObject();

    treeNode    = contextMenu.first();

    i = contextMenu.selectionCount();

    if (treeNode.AOTparent().AOTname() == "Classes")  // Run only if it's opened from classes node

    {

        while (i >= 1)

        {

            dictClass           = new SysDictClass(className2Id(treeNode.AOTname()));

            extendedClassList   = dictClass.extendedBy();

            if (extendedClassList.elements())

            {

                listEnumerator = extendedClassList.getEnumerator();

                message = strfmt("Class %1 is extended by %2 subclasses.",treeNode.AOTname(),int2str(extendedClassList.elements()));

                setprefix(message);

                while (listEnumerator.moveNext())

                {

                    info(ClassId2Name(listEnumerator.current()));

                }

            }

            else

            {

                info(strfmt("Class %1 is not extended .",treeNode.AOTname()));

            }

            treeNode = contextMenu.next();

            i--;

        }

     }

}

Step2 : Create Menu Item with label as Get Extended classes and point to above job.

Step 3: Add above created menu item to the Menu 'SysContextMenu'.

Now if you do right click on class in AOT , than it should

When you select option Get Extended Classes , you will get the output as

Enjoyyy!!!!!!!!!
