How to access or set Text Symbol from Table Frame using ArcGIS Pro SDK

Anonymous User — Thu, 21 Apr 2022 11:38:06 GMT

Hi,

I'm using the Table Frame functionality in the ArcGIS Pro application where I need to set the Text symbol part that appears when we go to the Table Frame properties table, beside that there is one tab "Text Symbol" that I need to access through the backend using C#.

Is there anyone who knows how to do this or can provide the code snippet ?

Thanks in advance!

internal class Button1 : Button { protected override void OnClick() { var layout = LayoutView.Active.Layout; if (layout == null) return; QueuedTask.Run(() => { var tableFrame = layout.GetElements().OfType<TableFrame>().FirstOrDefault(); if (tableFrame != null) { //change the text symbol //the property panel conflates the symbols for each field var frame_def = tableFrame.GetDefinition() as CIMTableFrame; var fields = frame_def.Fields?.ToList() ?? new List<CIMTableFrameField>(); var green = ColorFactory.Instance.CreateColor( System.Windows.Media.Colors.ForestGreen); var size = 11; var fontName = "Bernard MT Condensed"; var textSymbol = SymbolFactory.Instance.ConstructTextSymbol(green, size, fontName); foreach (var frameField in fields) { //to mimic the property sheet, change heading and field symbols frameField.HeadingTextSymbol.Symbol = textSymbol; frameField.TextSymbol.Symbol = textSymbol; } //these are defaults for new fields - optional - but, based on //some experimentation, they need to match if u want the property //sheet to show the changed symbology. frame_def.DefaultTableFrameField.HeadingTextSymbol.Symbol = textSymbol; frame_def.DefaultTableFrameField.TextSymbol.Symbol = textSymbol; //commit the changes tableFrame.SetDefinition(frame_def); } }); } }

Take a look at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MP90p-jkA5Q&t=14s on Youtube for on some guidance on how to figure these kind of things out. The session content is here: UnderstandingTheCIM.zip

There are multiple symbols it seems that control the borders - for the rows, the header, columns, etc. However, the "outer" border is this one:

var frame_def = tableFrame.GetDefinition() as CIMTableFrame; var dashed_line = SymbolFactory.Instance.ConstructLineSymbol( ColorFactory.Instance.CreateColor(System.Windows.Media.Colors.CadetBlue), 1, SimpleLineStyle.Dash); //change the outer border symbol frame_def.GraphicFrame.BorderSymbol.Symbol = dashed_line; tableFrame.SetDefinition(frame_def);
