Preselect particular column from iTable in layer properties dialog?

JörgPossin

Hi all!

With the following code it is possible to open the layer properties dialog and the labels tab.

 Dim pContentsView As IContentsView
                pContentsView = m_MxDoc.CurrentContentsView
                pContentsView.ContextItem = pFLayer
                'Display the properties of this layer
                Dim pUID As New UID
                Dim pCmdItem As ICommandItem
                pUID.Value = "esriArcMapUI.LayerContextMenuItems"
                pUID.SubType = 9
                pCmdItem = m_Application.Document.CommandBars.Find(pUID)
                pCmdItem.Execute()

This works well but is it also possible to preselect a particular column from the label field combobox?

Not sure if you can do want you want via that LayerContextMenuItems.  You might have to manipulate the settings through ILabelEngineLayerProperties.  See here for a possible alternative solution:
