Receive events from Catalog view to an Add-In

MatsAndersson

Hi,

I am new in developing with ArcGIS but now I have succeeded in making an Add-In.
Now, I want this Add-In to receive event from the Catalog View in ArcMap.
For example when I select an item in the Catalog view tree.
How do I do this?

The following VBA code shows how to hook into the Catalog Window and any selection. In this example it simply displays the full path name. You have to get a handle on the DockableWindow then it's Userdata property which returns an object of type IGXBrowser

Public WithEvents sel As GxSelection


Public Sub test()
    Dim pDockableWindowManager As IDockableWindowManager
    Set pDockableWindowManager = Application
    
    Dim sUID As UID
    Set sUID = New UID
    sUID.Value = "{7F09BEFF-4F85-48A2-A3DC-39430262799E}" 'GxBrowserDockWindow
    
    Dim pDockableWindow As IDockableWindow
    Set pDockableWindow = pDockableWindowManager.GetDockableWindow(sUID)
    
    Dim pGXBrowser As IGxBrowser
    Set pGXBrowser = pDockableWindow.UserData
    
    Dim pGXCatalog As IGxCatalog
    Set pGXCatalog = pGXBrowser.InternalCatalog
    
    Set sel = pGXCatalog.Selection
End Sub


Private Sub sel_OnSelectionChanged(ByVal Selection As esriCatalog.IGxSelection, initiator As Variant)
    MsgBox Selection.Location.FullName
End Sub
