ArcObjects connected Folder

ChrisMatthews — Fri, 10 Jul 2015 14:57:18 GMT

Does anybody have an arcObjects sample that will list the connect folders a user has created?

This is as close as I've got;

Dim pGxObjCont As IGxObjectContainer

Dim pGxCatalog As IGxCatalog

pGxCatalog = New GxCatalog

If pGxCatalog Is Nothing Then

Exit Sub

Else

pGxObjCont = pGxCatalog

End

Dim pEnumGxObj As IEnumGxObject

pEnumGxObj = pGxObjCont.Children

Dim pGxObj As IGxObject

pGxObj = pEnumGxObj.Next

Do While Not pGxObj Is Nothing

If pGxObj.Name = "Folder Connections" Then

'### Get the individual folders here

End If

pGxObj = pEnumGxObj.Next

Loop

I was able to get a list of the folders using the below code. You'd need to convert it to VB.net.

Thanks Freddie that is really appreciated.

VB.Net version of the code below.

Dim booHdrive As Boolean = False

Dim pGxObjCont As IGxObjectContainer

Dim intFolders As Integer

Dim pGxCatalog As IGxCatalog

pGxCatalog = New GxCatalog

If pGxCatalog Is Nothing Then

Exit Sub

Else

pGxObjCont = pGxCatalog.GetObjectFromFullName("Folder Connections", intFolders)

End If

Dim pEnumGxObj As IEnumGxObject

pEnumGxObj = pGxObjCont.Children

If Not pEnumGxObj Is Nothing Then

Dim pGxObj As IGxObject

pGxObj = pEnumGxObj.Next

Do While Not pGxObj Is Nothing

If pGxObj.FullName = "H:\" Then

booHdrive = True

End If

pGxObj = pEnumGxObj.Next

Loop

End If

Hi Chris,

Looks like you got a solution but from one developer to another your formatting is not very helpful so it was difficult to read the code. You seem to have about 4 to 5 blank lines between every line of code...

Can you reformat it to make it more readable for others?

Duncan

The format was messed up when I pasted the code in. I'd actually already tidied it up a bit!

I've given it a bit of a tidy up.

Regards

Chris
