How can I open the tool "Share as Web Layer"

HoriaTudosie — Tue, 17 Oct 2017 18:38:06 GMT

Using ArcGIS Pro 2.0(1) SDK, how can I initiate the command "Share as Web Layer" as I do from the popup menu on the layer from the content dialog:

Also, how can I pre-populate the parameters of the tool:

I need the user just to check and click Publish...

Any way to access this in 3.x?

Hi,

You can open "New WEB layer" using ID (esri_sharing_SharingAsWEBLayerCXMUBtn)

var commandId = "esri_sharing_SharingAsWEBLayerCXMUBtn"; IPlugInWrapper wrapper = FrameworkApplication.GetPlugInWrapper(commandId); var command = wrapper as ICommand; if ((command != null) && command.CanExecute(null)) command.Execute(null);

Another way is to open geoprocessing tool dialog using Geoprocessing.OpenToolDialog

Hi and thanks for the swift help!

I'm using the 3.2 SDK, and i can't get any of these to work.
Command is null, and OpenToolDialog returns "tool not found".

Is there any documentation available for the "esri_sharing_SharingAsWEBLayerCXMUBtn" command?

Right now i'm calling a share script from a py toolbox using Geoprocessing.ExecuteToolAsync, but i really don't want to rewrite the whole shareAsWebLayer dialog.. So the idea is to do some checks, filtering, metadata and database-stuff before passing the args to the shareAsWebLayer tool.

ICommand.Execute didn't work because i had no selected layer, or the layer selected was not the correct type. Still it only opens the dialog, i guess it doesn't support args..

Some documentation for this would be nice.

Hello @GKmieliauskas ,

I tried this workflow it's not working. Also, How can I use Geoprocessing.OpenToolDialog() method because there is no geoprocessing tool present there for sharing as web layer.

private ICommand _cmdOpen;
public ICommand CmdOpen
{
get
{
return _cmdOpen ??= new RelayCommand(() =>
{
var commandId = "esri_sharing_SharingAsWEBLayerCXMUBtn";
var wrapper = FrameworkApplication.GetPlugInWrapper(commandId);
var command = wrapper as ICommand;

if (command != null && command.CanExecute(null))
command.Execute(null);
else
ArcGIS.Desktop.Framework.Dialogs.MessageBox.Show(
"Cannot execute 'Share As Web Layer' command in this context.");
});
}
}

Regards,

Abhijeet
