Am I missing something? Missing entries in Commands categories list

AdrianMarsden — Mon, 11 Apr 2011 15:04:36 GMT

Hi

I'm just venturing into the world of addins. I have followed the walkthrough for a simple "hello world" as well as building a few of the samples. Yest when I come to add the the relevant categories are missing from the command list.

So, for the walkthrough I am missing "Add-In Controls" (I left it as default) and for the samples it is "Developer Samples"

This is on a laptop that had 10 freshly installed today, never has had any esri stuff on it before.

Cheers

To be honest, I didn't understand your problem very well. Have you successfully created Add-In project using ArcGIS VS projects?
Anyway, in order to use all this stuff you need to install "ArcGIS 10.0 .net SDK" in addition to your ArcGIS 10.0.

Yep all of that is installed and OK. I build the addin and then can see it i Add In Manager in ArcMap. What I cannot see is the category in the commands tab of the customize window I have created the addin in - for example "Developer Samples"

However, I have just ran ArcMap as a local admin user and it all works fine.

So, there is some restriction on our normal accounts here that is preventing this last bit of registratin working.

I have just logged this as a call with ESRI(UK) (I don't think they are yet Esri(UK) )

Cheers

PS Adding the built addin using the "Add from file" button, from the built location of "My Documents\ArcGIS\Addins\<guid> I fet "no gui components found in this add-in" and nothing is added.

Adding the same file from a different location I don't get this, but neither do I get the category added to the list, it refreshes the list but doesn't add anything
