Can I get access to the Select one or more features control (with different shapes-rectangle,polygon,...) in ArcGIS Pro SDK C#?

Question

I would like to use the "Select one or more features" tool in a custom dock pane I created.

Is there a way I can access this functionality using the ArcGIS Pro SDK for C#?

The closest tool I could find from this link: DAML ID Reference Editing.daml · Esri/arcgis-pro-sdk Wiki · GitHub

esri_editing_EditVerticesNormal - It brings up a dock pane with a select tool but I don't want 
to edit the vertices

My Use case:

I have a connect and disconnect button (similar to existing Move, Rotate). When I click either of them, I need to open a new dock pane with the select one or more features active which selects only a particular feature and has buttons on the dock pane which Activates once the selection is valid.

I found a sample project close to it: arcgis-pro-sdk-community-samples/Map-Exploration/FeatureSelection at master · Esri/arcgis-pro-sdk-community-samples · Gi…

But it has only one select (by rectangle). I would like to replace that select tool with Esri's default feature selection tool as shown in the above image.

In short, I would like to create a feature similar to Move, Rotate that performs a different operation using a similar dock pane as Esri's.

Is there a way I can get access to this functionality. Instead of Move/Rotate/Scale, I would like to have my own functionality like Connect, Disconnect.

Maybe what you are looking for is "esri_mapping_selectToolPalette", "esri_editing_ShowAttributes", and "esri_mapping_clearSelectionButton"? I'm not sure, but this may help someone else at any rate because I came across your post while struggling with this on my project. In your Config.daml add the tools and toolPalette: In your View Model subscribe to the "OnMapSelectionChanged" event: MapSelectionChangedEvent.Subscribe(OnMapSelectionChanged); private async void OnMapSelectionChanged(MapSelectionChangedEventArgs args) { await QueuedTask.Run(() => { try { //Eggs is an ObservableCollection of a custom class Eggs.Clear(); _selectedEggCount = 0; ShowCanvas = false; FeatureLayer layer = _layerHelper.GetIcePolygonLayer(); var selection = layer.GetSelection(); IReadOnlyList selectedOIDs = selection.GetObjectIDs(); if (selectedOIDs.Count == 0) return; ArcGIS.Core.Data.QueryFilter queryFilter = new ArcGIS.Core.Data.QueryFilter { ObjectIDs = selectedOIDs }; queryFilter.WhereClause = "POLY_TYPE = 'I' Or POLY_TYPE = 'W'"; using (RowCursor rowCursor = layer.Search(queryFilter)) { while (rowCursor.MoveNext()) { using (Row row = rowCursor.Current) { EggModel egg = new EggModel(row); Eggs.Add(egg); } } } } catch (Exception ex) { _logger.Error("Failed to get egg list: " + ex.Message + ex.StackTrace); } }); }

Hello Anandha,

if you are just looking for the ArcGIS Pro select tools:

then you should be able to get the controls by the following DAML IDs:

Name: Circle 
ID: esri_mapping_selectByCircleTool 
Condition: esri_mapping_mapPane

Name: Lasso 
ID: esri_mapping_selectByLassoTool 
Condition: esri_mapping_mapPane

Name: Line 
ID: esri_mapping_selectByLineTool 
Condition: esri_mapping_mapPane

Name: Polygon 
ID: esri_mapping_selectByPolygonTool 
Condition: esri_mapping_mapPane

Name: Rectangle 
ID: esri_mapping_selectByRectangleTool 
Condition: esri_mapping_mapPane

Name: Trace 
ID: esri_mapping_selectByTraceTool 
Condition: esri_mapping_mapViewingMode2DState

Taken from: DAML ID Reference ADMapping.daml · Esri/arcgis-pro-sdk Wiki · GitHub

Then you should follow this link to use an existing controls logic from your code:
ProGuide Reusing Pro Commands · Esri/arcgis-pro-sdk Wiki · GitHub

Hope that helps a little bit.
