Thanks in advance.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>I am simply wondering if there is a way to hook into ArcCatalog to do an event when the selection changes, similar to the way the information in the Description tab changes every time you select a new object in the catalog tree? I understand how to do this on an event such as a button push, but I've been unable to find a way to do it automatically when the selection changes. I spent most of yesterday afternoon experimenting with ways, such as WPF DependencyProperties and looking into IGxApplicationEvents - however so far I'm unsuccessful. </SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>For a simple example say I had a ESRI.ArcGIS.Desktop.AddIns.DockableWindow with a single TextBox in it and I wanted to write the FullName (path) to the selected object in the Catalog Tree whenever a new object is selected, how would I go about doing that?</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Wed, 07 May 2014 13:12:40 GMT ClintDow 2014-05-07T13:12:40Z ArcCatalog selection changed event https://community.esri.com/t5/arcobjects-sdk-questions/arccatalog-selection-changed-event/m-p/538363#M14585 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>Hello all,</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>I'm moving into the ArcObjects/WPF world from Python scripting and its been a steep learning curve, so the more verbose your answer the better!
