Open Layout properties window

Question

Hello,

I'm trying to open the layout properties window without much success.

var wrapper = FrameworkApplication.GetPlugInWrapper("esri_layouts_propertySheet");

var command = wrapper as ICommand;
if (command == null)
return;

// execute the command
if (command.CanExecute(null))
command.Execute(null);

I have an activeView. But the wrapper is always null.

Any idea ? Thanks !

The reason why you get a <null> returned is because this item doesn't implement an ICommand (i.e. button).  If you use esri_layouts_layoutPropertiesButton instead of the property page DAML, your code should work.  To find the appropriate DAML Id you can either use the DAML reference here: DAML ID Reference ArcGISLayout.daml · ArcGIS/arcgis-pro-sdk Wiki (github.com) or you can enable the this Pro option:

Once enabled you can see the DAML Id as a tooltip:
