I am working on an add-in program for ArcMap 10.5.  When the user clicks the add-in button, an image displays in the winform picture box. (For this example, that image comes from solution's Resource folder, but that does not matter for now).  When the user clicks "Run" on the winform, the program is meant to grab the image from the picture box, make it the same size as the mouse cursor, and then add that image NEXT TO the mouse cursor (preferably to the right of the existing mouse cursor).  The image floats along next to the mouse cursor, until the user clicks the "Close" button.  Right now, I cannot get this image addition to display next to my mouse cursor.  Here is my code thus far:        using ESRI.ArcGIS.esriSystem; using ESRI.ArcGIS.Framework; using ESRI.ArcGIS.Geodatabase; using ESRI.ArcGIS.Geometry; using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Drawing; using System.Linq; using System.Reflection; using System.ComponentModel; using System.Data; using System.Text; using System.Runtime.InteropServices; using System.Windows.Forms; using LineByCursor.Properties; namespace LineByCursor { // get X,Y from mouse event // community.esri.com/t5/arcobjects-sdk-questions/add-in-button-mouse-down-capture/td-p/542368 public partial class Form1 : Form { private IGraphicTracker m_tracker; // allows one to loop through the generated ids private List<int> m_ids; // private string m_xmlPath; private MouseHook m_mh; private IPoint m_lastLoc; private int m_moveCount = 0; private Image resourceImage = Resources.simpleDiagonalLine; public Form1() { InitializeComponent(); pictureBox1.Image = resourceImage; pictureBox1.Visible = true; m_tracker = new GraphicTrackerClass(); //allows one to loop through the generated ids m_ids = new List<int>(); } private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) { m_mh = new MouseHook(); m_mh.SetHook(); m_mh.MouseMoveEvent += mh_MouseMoveEvent; this.Location = Settings.Default.MyLoc; Rectangle rect = Screen.GetWorkingArea(this); if (this.Size.Width + this.Location.X > rect.Right) { this.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(rect.Right - Size.Width, this.Location.Y); } if (this.Size.Height + this.Location.Y > rect.Bottom) { this.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(this.Location.X, rect.Bottom - Size.Height); } if (this.Location.Y < rect.Top) { this.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(this.Location.X, rect.Top); } if (this.Location.X < rect.Left) { this.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(rect.Left, this.Location.Y); } } private void buttonRun_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { try { IMouseCursor appCursor = new MouseCursorClass(); appCursor.SetCursor(2); m_tracker.RemoveAll(); // from Distance Halo - needed? m_ids.Clear(); // Load the image from your resources (assuming it's a PNG file?)

In ArcMap, I was able to determine if my users were in an edit session, or no.  I know that an edit session isn't the same / not required in Pro. But many of my users are still new to Pro, so I suggest they follow the instructions in this link, to enable editing from the edit tab.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nQq3sgFbk8I I have a c# Add-In for ArcGIS pro. I would like my program to be able to determine if my user is in an edit session, or no.  I have tried things like this:    private async void CheckEditSession() { // Check if an edit session is in progress bool editInProgress = false; await QueuedTask.Run(() => { editInProgress = EditingModule.Current.EditState == EditState.Editing; }); // Display appropriate message if (editInProgress) { MessageBox.Show("Edit session in progress."); } else { MessageBox.Show("Edit Session NOT in progress."); } }   But, as you can see, this syntax isn't really available. I'm having trouble finding any equivalent in the vast work of Pro Snippets.  How can I programmatically determine whether or not my user is in an edit session, or not?  ... View more

I am having trouble with minimums in my Pro Windows.  For example:  In an Add-In Button, written in C#, my button produces a Pro Window.  Even when blank, I am unable to make my window width smaller. Here is the simple xaml for producing an empty Pro window, upon the click of an Add-In button:  ``` <controls:ProWindow x:Class="My_AddIn_Pro.MySmallWindow" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" xmlns:controls="clr-namespace:ArcGIS.Desktop.Framework.Controls;assembly=ArcGIS.Desktop.Framework" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008" xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006" xmlns:extensions="clr-namespace:ArcGIS.Desktop.Extensions;assembly=ArcGIS.Desktop.Extensions" mc:Ignorable="d" Title="My Small Window" Height="300" Width="175"> <controls:ProWindow.Resources> <ResourceDictionary> <ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries> <extensions:DesignOnlyResourceDictionary Source="pack://application:,,,/ArcGIS.Desktop.Framework;component\Themes\Default.xaml"/> </ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries> </ResourceDictionary> </controls:ProWindow.Resources> <Grid> </Grid> </controls:ProWindow> ``` The resulting Pro Window isn't at Width 175 at all. It's nearly twice that width.  In a simple Windows xaml window, I can set whatever size I wish, with a simple Width="". But, that simple window will not auto-adjust to dark mode & light mode in Pro.  What needs to be done, to set Pro Window sizing to whatever is needed?  I have a very similar issue with button size, seen here in this GIS Stack Exchange post:  https://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/464688/how-to-make-a-dynamic-resource-esri-button-as-small-as-needed-in-an-arcgis-pro-w ...

I'm combing through ArcPro snippets in GitHub, and I'm still having a very hard time transitioning to the Pro syntax.  It was very simple, in ArcGIS for Desktop, to:  -create a UID class -assign a value -enumerate layers, filtering by said UIDClass value UIDClass uIDClass = new UIDClass(); uIDClass.Value = "{setValueHere}";  IEnumLayer layers = Document.FocusMap.get_Layers(uIDClass, true); In Pro, I'm having the hardest time even finding how to enum layers! I see a LOT about GetLayersAsFlattenedList(), but I can't figure out HOW to use it for my purpose ...

Long ago, on an older machine, with an older form of ArcGIS Desktop (10.4), I was able to make the console window appear upon startup for all local ArcGIS Desktop applications (ArcMap, Catalog, etc). It does not matter which language or IDE used, if debugging or not. I could see my logs immediately.  Now on a newer machine, with 10.5, I cannot figure this out. I would like to set Desktop10.5 so that my console window appears upon startup for my desktop applications. (See the image as the example, in ArcMap, of what I'm trying to accomplish.) Debugging ArcMap, automatically have console window  I've searched around in:  C:\Program Files (x86)\ArcGIS\Desktop10.5\bin I'm just not finding  what I'm looking for, or any documentation for this. Thank you! ... View more

Hello,  I'm familiar with assigning keyboard shortcuts for commands. But I'm trying to figure out if I can assign keyboard shortcuts for turning specific extensions on & off.  Using ArcMap, not Pro. Any documentation / ideas? Many thanks.  ... View more

I am struggling with ESRI's Picture / IPicture java arcobjects documentation for ArcGIS Desktop (not Runtime). I just need to grab the image file from my project's source (src) folder, and cast that as a Picture. Here's a little of what I've tried: ``` File pictureFile = new File("myImage.bmp"); Picture pictureDisp = (Picture) pictureFile; // FAIL: java.io.File cannot be cast to com.esri.arcgis.support.ms.stdole.Picture ``` or ``` Image image = ImageIO.read(getClass().getResource("myImage.bmp")); Picture pictureDisp = (Picture) image; // FAIL: java.awt.image.BufferedImage cannot be cast to com.esri.arcgis.support.ms.stdole.Picture ``` I've tried the above scenarios with IPicture as well. I have no idea by what process on can set the Picture (or IPicture) in Java for ArcDesktop. I can't use a file path, this project will be deployed as an add-in, and not all users will have access to the same file paths. I need the file embedded in my program. I just want my image file to be accessible via Picture or IPicture... or sure, BmpPictureElement. Why not! But I can't seem to access it, no matter what I try.  I've also tried creating via BmpPictureElement, with zero success. http://help.arcgis.com/EN/sdk/10.0/Java_AO_ADF/api/arcobjects/com/esri/arcgis/support/ms/stdole/Picture.html http://resources.esri.com/help/9.3/arcgisengine/java/api/arcobjects/com/esri/arcgis/support/ms/stdole/IPicture.html#selectPicture(int,%20int[],%20int[]) http://resources.esri.com/help/9.3/ArcGISEngine/java/api/arcobjects/com/esri/arcgis/carto/BmpPictureElement.html ...

I've written a little java add-in button for ArcDesktop 10.4, in eclipse, which makes a new ArcMap layer with some points. (NOT Runtime) My goal is to assign a picture as the symbol for each of these points. I have success on my machine, but I can't figure out how to make my picture accessible to all future users. Here's my class, part of larger program, which does work, but image currently only comes through from path on my own computer: ``` public class SymbologyChanger { public SymbologyChanger(ArrayList<Point> pointsForTheLayer, IMap currentMap) throws AutomationException, IOException {       IGraphicsContainer graphContainer = (IGraphicsContainer) currentMap.getActiveGraphicsLayer();       for (int i = 0; i < pointsForTheLayer.size(); i++) {          Point point = (Point) pointsForTheLayer.get(i);          double symbolSize = 15;          IPictureMarkerSymbol picSym = new PictureMarkerSymbol();          picSym.setSize(symbolSize);          // http://resources.esri.com/help/9.3/ArcGISDesktop/ArcObjects/esriDisplay/esriIPictureType.htm          picSym.createMarkerSymbolFromFile(1, "C:\\Users\\userName\\eclipseWorkspace\\java_project\\images\\my_image.bmp");          IMarkerElement markerElement = new MarkerElement();          markerElement.setSymbol(picSym);          IElement element = (IElement) markerElement;          element.setGeometry(point); g          raphContainer.addElement(element, 0);          }       } } ``` inspiration from:  arcgissamples\cartography\DrawSymbolMain.java—ArcObjects 10.4 Help for Java | ArcGIS for Desktop  So it's this particular line: ``` picSym.createMarkerSymbolFromFile(1, "C:\Users\userName\eclipseWorkspace\java_project\images\my_image.bmp"); ``` which is my problem. I've placed the image in the project images folder, along with the button icon. The button icon totally works, but for the points symbol, I've tried: ``` picSym.createMarkerSymbolFromFile(1, "images\my_image.bmp"); ``` And this does not work. Again, I get the image I want for the point symbol, but how to set the path correctly to share with others? I need the image to work as the point symbol with all machines, not just my own. ...
