IContentsView3 in ArcGIS10

EvaDienske

Hi all,

Just upgraded an application with a custom IContentsView2 implementation to ArcGIS10. The contentsview is now implementing IContentsView3.

Not sure why when I base my contentsview on IContentsView3 only, I have to implement IContentsView AND IContentsView2 AND IContentsView3 which mostly have the same methods and properties... At the moment in my implementation, all methods do exactly the same thing, I guess this is correct!

In any case, setting the Visible property no longer works (I want to remove the contentsview when a custom extension is switched off). The property goes like this (visible being a member variable of my custom contentsview class):

        bool IContentsView3.Visible
        {
            get
            {
                return visible;
            }
            set
            {
                visible = value;
            }
        }

Quite simple and this used to work in 9.3.1 (with IContentsView2). Now it doesn't: the contentsview is always visible, even when its Visible property is false.

Have I missed something new?
Regards, Eva

Hi Eva, I first want to say that I do not have an answer for your question, sorry about that.  In reading your question you an ahead of me in implementing IContentsView in ArcGis 10.  I do have a question though, I am coverting over to ArcGis 10 and I have not figured out how IContentsView is implemented.  In 9.3 ContentsView was registered in ArcGISCategoryRegistration (I am working on add-ins in ArcGis 10, no Com stuff), now, what kicks off, fires off, starts, recognizes the contentsview when the application is started so that I have access to the table of contents.

Thank you for your time, Dale,
