I want to add some layouts to my project from the code. I have about 4 different export templates that I plan to use in a project, so if a user wants to export a selected Item, they select export, the code finds the layout from the Project-->Layouts, updates the text/map elements and saves or shows a pdf to the user. The problem, is that i want to add these 4 Layouts to a users project if they don't exist. I plan on putting the pagx files in the config.x file, then on loading a project I will add them to the layouts for a project if they don't exist. But when I do this, it "Auto" opens the layout when I use additem or import item from the Project tools. I just want them to be added in the background? This code below adds the items to layout, but it also opens up the layout tabs for each, which i don't want. //1. See if the layouts have been imported to this Project //Reference all the layout project items IEnumerable LayoutProjectItem > layouts = Project . Current . GetItems LayoutProjectItem > ( ) ; //Or reference a specific layout project item by name LayoutProjectItem layoutItem = Project . Current . GetItems LayoutProjectItem > ( ) . FirstOrDefault ( item = > item . Name . Equals ( "CurrentFieldMapHybrid" ) ) ; //************************* //************************* //THIS BELOW ADDS THE LAYOUT TO THE CATALOG, BUT OPENS UP THE LAYOUT TABS.

Thank you for your feedback. We are looking into the request and are considering this for a future release.

Can you think of any type of work around for this? I don't want the templates or layouts to open at all. But if they do, i want to have that layout tab close automatically, or when i add the LayoutProjectItem, I quickly close it. I think after the first time, when it is already in the project I can reference it, but I want to add them all for a project and then close them all. Then they can all be referenced without opening them.

MKa

My work around it to add the LayoutProjectItem to the Project if it doesn't already exist, and then close that pane immediatly afterwards. I don't want the users to see my Layout template. I then proceed to edit the Elements on that layout page and export the layout to a pdf. This way a user will never see the layout. I do need to add the pagx file to the configx file and reference it, but that shouldn't be too difficult.

Are the layout names hardcoded? Can you search for a layout pane and close it?

ProApp.Panes.CloseLayoutPanes(layout.URI);

At 2.3 we are adding a new event called LayoutAddedEvent which could be useful in this case.

Oops - didn't realize I was replying to a second response from you (with the same work around).

No that i have that reference to the correct LayoutProjectItem, I am having trouble moving the mapFrame from the mapview. I seem to continue to get the same map location in my map frame. I want to move the from pragmatically according to some lat/long or x/y that i send the function. But when i change the camera X or Y when debugging in the below code, the camera stays in the same spot in my resulting layout print out.

Hi M,

I think that your Camera is not properly initialized. A Camera requires more than just X and Y. Try to initialize your camera like this

<SPAN class="keyword token">var</SPAN> newPosition <SPAN class="operator token">=</SPAN> MapView<SPAN class="punctuation token">.</SPAN>Active<SPAN class="punctuation token">.</SPAN>Camera<SPAN class="punctuation token">;</SPAN><SPAN class="line-numbers-rows"><SPAN>‍</SPAN></SPAN>

Yes. I was initializing it wrong. I am able to set my camera to focus on my items centroid (lat/long) with this code. I had to convert the lat long to x/y. But it works quite well

The original request to be able to import a pagx without the view opening in the application has been addressed in Pro 2.3 by adding an additional Boolean to the ImportItem method.

IProjectMultiItem pagx = ItemFactory.Instance.Create(@C:\Active\Layout\SDK\2.3\ImportItemTest.pagx) as IProjectMultiItem;
await QueuedTask.Run(() =>
{
Project.Current.ImportItem(pagx, false); //Layout view does NOT open (but is added to catalog pane)
Project.Current.ImportItem(pagx, true); //Layout1 does open (and is added to catalog pane)
});

When will 2.3 be released. I would like to get my users on the latest version, as they are still on 2.1.2. But if you are planning a new release soon, i might wait.

JeffreyBarrette

2.3 isn't planned for release until the start of 2019.
