How to access or set Text Symbol from Table Frame using ArcGIS Pro SDK

Anonymous User

Hi,

I'm using the Table Frame functionality in the ArcGIS Pro application where I need to set the Text symbol part that appears when we go to the Table Frame properties table, beside that there is one tab "Text Symbol" that I need to access through the backend using C#.

 

Is there anyone who knows how to do this or can provide the code snippet ?

 

Thanks in advance!

internal class Button1 : Button {
  protected override void OnClick() {
     var layout = LayoutView.Active.Layout;
     if (layout == null)
       return;

     QueuedTask.Run(() => {
      var tableFrame = layout.GetElements().OfType<TableFrame>().FirstOrDefault();
      if (tableFrame != null) {
        //change the text symbol
        //the property panel conflates the symbols for each field
        var frame_def = tableFrame.GetDefinition() as CIMTableFrame;
        var fields = frame_def.Fields?.ToList() ?? new List<CIMTableFrameField>();

        var green = ColorFactory.Instance.CreateColor(
                       System.Windows.Media.Colors.ForestGreen);
        var size = 11;
        var fontName = "Bernard MT Condensed";
        var textSymbol = SymbolFactory.Instance.ConstructTextSymbol(green, size, fontName);							

        foreach (var frameField in fields) {
          //to mimic the property sheet, change heading and field symbols
	  frameField.HeadingTextSymbol.Symbol = textSymbol;
          frameField.TextSymbol.Symbol = textSymbol;
        }
        //these are defaults for new fields - optional - but, based on
        //some experimentation, they need to match if u want the property
        //sheet to show the changed symbology.
        frame_def.DefaultTableFrameField.HeadingTextSymbol.Symbol = textSymbol;				 
        frame_def.DefaultTableFrameField.TextSymbol.Symbol = textSymbol;

        //commit the changes
        tableFrame.SetDefinition(frame_def);
       }
     });
   }
}
