Get CIMFeatureLayers in CIMGroupLayers

Kai_DA

I am currently trying to access the FeatureLayers inside a GroupLayer via the CIM by accessing my Project-File, looping over the maps and then looking for the layers inside those maps.

Now I want to figure out which FeatureLayers belong to which GroupLayer. I am able to determine the GroupLayers of the map by checking if my current CIMObject is a CIMGroupLayer:

 

if (cimObject is ArcGIS.Core.CIM.CIMGrouplayer cimGroupLayer)
{
    var featureLayers = cimGroupLayers.Layers;
}

 

by accessing the "Layers" property of a GroupLayer I am getting the CIMPath as a string for each layer ("CIMPATH=some_layer_name.xml"). Is there any way of getting the 'clear name' for this layer by using this CIMPATH string you get from the Layers property?

There might also be another way around that which I haven't found out yet (it has to be done via accessing the CIM tho).

Many thanks in advance!

Try t

      await QueuedTask.Run(() =>
      {
        ReadOnlyObservableCollection<Layer> lstLays;
        lstLays = MapView.Active.Map.Layers;
        foreach (Layer lay in lstLays)
        { 
          if (lay is GroupLayer)
          {
            GroupLayer pGrpLay = (GroupLayer)lay;
            ReadOnlyObservableCollection<Layer> featureLayers = pGrpLay.Layers;
            foreach (FeatureLayer fLay in featureLayers)
            {
              CIMBaseLayer fLayDef = fLay.GetDefinition();
              string pLayName = fLayDef.Name;
              MessageBox.Show(pLayName);
            }
          }
        }
      });
