Is it possible to add a custom group to an existing tab?

DerekSalinas — Mon, 09 Nov 2020 18:36:19 GMT

I have created a custom addin that I would like to house in a custom group the "esri_mapping_homeTab" to the right of the "Offline" group.

I know i need to be able to update the "esri_mapping" module, but do I need to have the module added first?

Thanks any help you can provide!

If this is what you want to implement:

You can model your add-in's config.daml after this:

<modules>
  <insertModule id="GroupInsertTest_Module" className="Module1" autoLoad="false" caption="Module1">
    <groups>
      <group id="GroupInsertTest_Group1" caption="Group 1" appearsOnAddInTab="true">
        <button refID="GroupInsertTest_Button1" size="large" />
        <button refID="GroupInsertTest_Button2" size="large" />
      </group>
    </groups>
    <controls>
      <!-- add your controls here -->
      <button id="GroupInsertTest_Button1" caption="Button 1" className="Button1" loadOnClick="true" smallImage="pack://application:,,,/ArcGIS.Desktop.Resources;component/Images/GenericButtonBlue16.png" largeImage="pack://application:,,,/ArcGIS.Desktop.Resources;component/Images/GenericButtonBlue32.png">
        <tooltip heading="Tooltip Heading">Tooltip text<disabledText /></tooltip>
      </button>
      <button id="GroupInsertTest_Button2" caption="Button 2" className="Button2" loadOnClick="true" smallImage="pack://application:,,,/ArcGIS.Desktop.Resources;component/Images/GenericButtonBlue16.png" largeImage="pack://application:,,,/ArcGIS.Desktop.Resources;component/Images/GenericButtonBlue32.png">
        <tooltip heading="Tooltip Heading">Tooltip text<disabledText /></tooltip>
      </button>
    </controls>
  </insertModule>
	<!--Modifying Core Map Tab-->
	<updateModule refID="esri_mapping">
		<tabs>
			<updateTab refID="esri_mapping_homeTab" >
				<insertGroup refID="GroupInsertTest_Group1" placeWith="esri_mapping_offlineGroup" insert="after" />
			</updateTab>
		</tabs>
	</updateModule>
</modules>‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

There's also a sample that adds a button to the "esri mapping homeTab"

Hi Wolfgang,

I'm facing a similar issue. Using your update module snippet it works for me in the mapping hometab, however I need this on the edit Tab. Once I update from your snippet to fit my code, I no longer see the new group. Any Idea on what I am doing wrong?

</insertModule> <updateModule refID="esri_editing"> <tabs> <updateTab refID="esri_editing_EditingTab"> <insertGroup refID="AttributeEditor" placeWith="esri_editing_EditGallery" insert="after"/> </updateTab> </tabs> </updateModule> </modules>

Hi @ChristopherWorrell ,

You are using wrong updateTab refID. refID is "esri_editing_EditingModule"

Hi This worked for me once i added it to the update module refID.

How do I find the right namespaces for the updating modules?

@Wolf and @GKmieliauskas Could you tell me, what I need to change so that my group with my button will also be displayed in the Insert tab in a separate group. I tried this
