Looping through layers in C#

AndrewGehlot — Tue, 05 Jul 2016 18:29:53 GMT

Hello! This is probably a relatively simple question, but I am brand new to using the C# programming language and using ArcObjects.

I am attempting to change the default construction tool for many layers at once. I ran across the following code, which will update the construction tool for all classes within a layer, but I am trying to iterate through all of the active layers in my document. Are there any modifications I can make to do this? If so, how do I create an add-in button from this code? Thanks.

using System;

using ESRI.ArcGIS.Editor;

using ESRI.ArcGIS.Carto;

using ESRI.ArcGIS.Framework;

namespace SetTemplateProperty

{

public class SetDefaultTemplateTool : ESRI.ArcGIS.Desktop.AddIns.Button

{

IEditor3 m_editor;

public SetDefaultTemplateTool()

{

m_editor = ArcMap.Application.FindExtensionByName("esriEditor.Editor") as IEditor3;

}

protected override void OnClick()

{

//get the current template and ArcMap tool

IEditTemplate currentTemplate = m_editor.CurrentTemplate;

ICommandItem currentTool = ArcMap.Application.CurrentTool;

//loop through the templates in the edit session

for (int i = 0; i < m_editor.TemplateCount - 1; i++)

{

IEditTemplate editTemplate = m_editor.get_Template(i);

if (editTemplate.Layer.Name == currentTemplate.Layer.Name)

{

//set the default tool to the current ArcMap tool

Guid g = new Guid(currentTool.ID.Value.ToString());

editTemplate.Tool = g;

}

protected override void OnUpdate()

{

this.Enabled = (m_editor.EditState == esriEditState.esriStateEditing);

}
