Create custom Layout settings

FlorianHoffmann2

Hello, I found this nice article about adding a custom project/application settings page using the SDK:

https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-sdk-blog/create-custom-project-and-application-settings-using-the-arcgis/ba-p/883358

<!-- Project -->
</modules>
	<propertySheets>
		<updateSheet refID="esri_core_optionsPropertySheet">
			<insertPage id="esri_sdk_PropertyPageProjectSettings"
						caption="Sample Project Settings"
						className="ProjectSettingsViewModel"
						group="Project">
							<content className="ProjectSettingsView" />
			</insertPage>
		</updateSheet>
	</propertySheets>
</ArcGIS>

<!-- Application -->
</modules>
	<propertySheets>
		<updateSheet refID="esri_core_optionsPropertySheet">
			<insertPage id="esri_sdk_PropertyPageAppSettings"
						caption="Sample App Settings"
						className="ApplicationSettingsViewModel"
						group="Application">
							<content className="ApplicationSettingsView" />
			</insertPage>
		</updateSheet>
	</propertySheets>
</ArcGIS>‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

 

Theoretically, it should only be necessary to identify the group-id for the property window of layouts.

Practically, however, there is only one application and one project (at runtime) and several layouts. Which is probably a problem.

So, it is possible?

Thanks in advance!

contextually, assuming it is the active layout u are after, you can retrieve that from LayoutView.Active. The active layout view provides access to the layout it is rendering via layoutView.Layout.

 

Note also, in MVVM, your code should really be in the view model (not the view). Thus, u typically dont need access to the view model in the view (via its data context). In your case, the view model is identified by the className attribute on the "insertPage" tag.
