Hello everyone,
I am trying to replace an old VB Dockable Window add-in we've had around for a while before we upgrade to ArcGIS Desktop 10.5 and I am having some trouble. I've been working on it for a few days but have finally hit a brick wall (with my head... repeatedly).
The tool basically has a dropdown menu of several layers that don't have to be in the map document and allows the user to search for, say, an address or quarter section grid number, and then zooms the user to that location. It's been around since long before my time here, and when I suggested using the built-in Find tool people didn't want to always have the layers in the map so it got shot down.
