Problem adding toolbar control into dockable window

AysberqTundra — Wed, 27 Jun 2012 11:43:57 GMT

Hello!

I want to add a toolbar control into my dockable window and add standard select tools of ArcMap into this toolbar control.
Otherwise I need that, standard select tools be in my dockable window.
How can I do this?
Can anyone give me an idea?

Thanks!

Add a standard .NET toolbar to your form and create buttons for the tools you want. Inside the button click events, get references to the tools you want (via IDocument.CommandBars.Find) and set them to be the current tool (via IApplication.CurrentTool).

Thanks Neil, for your reply.
I did what you said. The code is following:

        private void toolStripButton1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            UID pUID = new UIDClass();
            pUID.Value = "esriArcMapUI.ZoomInTool";    // Error: Value does not fall within the expected range
            ESRI.ArcGIS.Framework.ICommandItem commandItem = ArcMap.Application.Document.CommandBars.Find(pUID, false, false);

            if (commandItem != null)
            {
                ArcMap.Application.CurrentTool = commandItem;
            }
       }

I have attache a screenshot of error.
What may be reason of this error?

Try using the actual GUID for the tool instead of the ProgId. {AD1891E4-7C79-11D0-8D7C-0080C7A4557D}
I've run into problems using the ProgId.

Thanks Neil.
It worked fine.
But, how can I find ProgId for "SelectFeaturesTool" and other several tools. Is there a way to find this or from help?

I found about ProgID from this link: http://resources.esri.com/help/9.3/arcgisdesktop/com/shared/desktop/reference/ArcMapIds.htm

My problem solved.
Thanks Neil for your help.
