Change or read Geoprocessing Options in Add-Ins

Eloy

Is there a way to change or at least to read  geoprocessing options such as "Add output dataset to an open map" in  Add-Ins?

I am working with a table in "memory" that is created with a geoprocess and after its creation is added to the TOC in Standalone Tables.

Geoprocessing.ExecuteToolAsync("management.CreateTable", tableParams, null, null, null, GPExecuteToolFlags.AddOutputsToMap);

If the above mentioned geoprocessing option is not checked, the table will not be added to the TOC, making impossible to insert or read rows in the recently created table in “memory”. At least I would like to read the geoprocessing options in the Add-In so I can create the table in the DefaultGeodatabasePath instead of in “memory” when the option is not checked.

I would appreciate any suggestion. Thanks in advance!

End users don't need ProcessMonitor.  Programmers dealing with undocumented software features do though.

Now that you know where the setting is getting saved, you can write code to read it, like this:

protected override void OnClick()
{
    string cfgFile = GetConfigFile();
    if(cfgFile != null)
    {
        var isAddingOutputToMap = GetAddOutputsToMap(cfgFile);
        Debug.Print($"add output to map: {isAddingOutputToMap}");
    }
}
private string GetConfigFile()
{
    var roaming = Environment
                .ExpandEnvironmentVariables("%APPDATA%");

    var esriFolder = System.IO.Path.Combine(roaming, "Esri");
    //config files for older versions may be present too ...
    var cfgFiles = Directory.GetFiles(esriFolder,
        "user.config", SearchOption.AllDirectories);
    var ver = FrameworkApplication.ResourceAssembly
                .GetName().Version.ToString();
    var cfgFile = cfgFiles.Where(f =>
    f.Contains("ArcGISPro.exe") &&
    f.Contains($"{ver}\\user.config")).FirstOrDefault();
    return cfgFile;
}
private bool GetAddOutputsToMap(string cfgFile)
{
    var xdoc = XDocument.Load(cfgFile);
    var gpSettings = xdoc.Element("configuration")
        .Elements("userSettings")
        .Elements("ArcGIS.Desktop.GeoProcessing.Properties.Settings")
        .FirstOrDefault();

    var node = gpSettings.Elements()
        .Where(e => e.Attribute("name").Value == "AddOutputsToMap")
        .FirstOrDefault();
    return node.Element("value").Value.ToUpper() == "TRUE";
}
