Add context menu entries to selected objects in the the Attribute pane

Pro 2.7

I'm looking to add new context menus when a user right clicks on a selected feature in the Attributes pane.

 

The Pro SDK Developer sample, InsertIntoContextMenu, is where I started but I'm getting stuck figuring out the RefID for the objects in the attribute pane.

I've searched the Editing.DAML but I'm not entirely sure what to look for.

I'm working with the Utility Network so the selected features could be either Spatial (red arrow) or Non-spatial (purple arrow) objects. 

Any help on how to find the appropriate RefIDs would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Mike

Look at the Pro SDK developer sample, InsertIntoContextMenu. Specifically, the config.daml file.

To add a custom button to the attribute pane, you'll need to update an existing menu in the module, esri_editing_EditingModule.  Here's an example.  Hope this helps!

<updateModule refID="esri_editing_EditingModule">
      <menus>
        <!-- Drill down from the spatial feature to the Non Spatial object for the Context Menu Item to appear  -->
        <updateMenu refID="esri_editing_Attributes_RelatedNonFeatureRowContextMenu">
          <insertButton refID="InsertIntoContextMenu_Button1" separator="true" placeWith="esri_editing_Attributes_StandaloneTablePropertiesContextMenuItem" />
        </updateMenu>
        <!-- 2 Step Process:  1.  The Non Spatial object must be checked in the Attribute Editor
                              2.  A new entry is added at bottom of the Attribute Tree.  
                                    Right Click on that entry for the Context Menu Item to appear  -->
        <updateMenu refID="esri_editing_Attributes_NonFeatureRowContextMenu">
          <insertButton refID="InsertIntoContextMenu_Button2" separator="true" placeWith="esri_editing_Attributes_StandaloneTablePropertiesContextMenuItem" />
        </updateMenu>
        <updateMenu refID="esri_editing_Attributes_FeatureContextMenu">
          <insertButton refID="InsertIntoContextMenu_Button3" separator="true" placeWith="esri_editing_Attributes_LayerPropertiesContextMenuItem" />
        </updateMenu>
      </menus>
    </updateModule>
