Question

The reason behind why I want to use property sheet is that I want to programatically open Layer properties window and programetically close that too after its opened. I am actually measuring time to open and close the layer property window.

Hi,

Thanks for the solution. Its working. I was using same approach to select layer on map.

After selection I tried PropertySheet.ShowDialog method. Thus I was able to open layer properties dialog but page binding was not happening.

I tried passing DAML id of layer property sheet then null for default page and Layer which is selected as a object parameter.

Any Idea if I want to use that approach what parameters to pass for page binding? I know that PropertySheet is mainly used for customization but I was wondering if I can pass some parameter for layer page binding to make that working.

Try this, // change this to get the appropriate layer you want var layer = MapView.Active.Map.GetLayersAsFlattenedList().FirstOrDefault(); // select it in the TOC List layersToSelect = new List(); layersToSelect.Add(layer); MapView.Active.SelectLayers(layersToSelect); // now execute the layer properties command var wrapper = FrameworkApplication.GetPlugInWrapper("esri_mapping_selectedLayerPropertiesButton"); var command = wrapper as ICommand; if (command == null) return; // execute the command if (command.CanExecute(null)) command.Execute(null);
