How To Move a Point

TomLewis

I'm thinking this should be easy, but I can't find any information on how to do this programmatically. I am porting an ArcMap Extension that has a move function for a point feature. We use the ISnapEnvironment and other Snapping classes to do this. I can't, for the life of me find any examples or how to do this in ArcGIS Pro SDK. I know how to move a point, but I need the user to be able to drag to the new location.

I love how the built in move edit works in ArcGIS Pro. If I can figure out a way to just capture the move do some application specific processing, that would be good too.

Any help would be most appreciated!

Not sure if this will work in your use case, but you can call the built-in ArcGIS Pro 'Move Vertices' function programmatically.  Just make sure that all edit conditions are met (i.e. the feature you want to move has been selected).  This code snippet worked for me:

protected override void OnClick()
{
  try
  {
    QueuedTask.Run(() =>
    {
      // Ensure that there is only a single selected feature
      var mapView = MapView.Active;
      if (mapView == null)
      {
        MessageBox.Show("No active map view", "MoveSelectedFeature");
        return;
      }
      var selectedFeatures = mapView.Map.GetSelection();
      if (selectedFeatures.Count != 1)
      {
        MessageBox.Show("Please select a single feature to move.", "MoveSelectedFeature");
        return;
      }
      // Use FrameworkApplication.GetPlugInWrapper to find the Move tool and execute the tool
      if (FrameworkApplication.GetPlugInWrapper("esri_editing_EditVerticesMove") is ICommand moveToolCmd)
      {
        if (moveToolCmd.CanExecute(null))
          moveToolCmd.Execute(null);
      }
      else
      {
        MessageBox.Show("Could not find the Move tool command.", "MoveSelectedFeature");
        return;
      }
    });
  }
  catch (Exception ex)
  {
    MessageBox.Show($"MoveSelectedFeature failed. {ex.Message}", "MoveSelectedFeature");
  }
}
