Basically, ArcObjects would be the way... but you said you just started, so I would decide why you need to click on something? &nbsp;You can get most functionallity to use already selected features, so if the need is to save the 2-step process, I would give a rethink or refocus on your workflow</P></BODY></HTML> Sat, 24 Sep 2016 17:47:31 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/python-questions/call-script-by-clicking-a-shape/m-p/505894#M39790 DanPatterson_Retired 2016-09-24T17:47:31Z Re: Call script by clicking a shape https://community.esri.com/t5/python-questions/call-script-by-clicking-a-shape/m-p/505895#M39791 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>What i wanna do is something like this, &nbsp;i have aap lets say with 5 restaurants in NYC. &nbsp;I click one of then and it should give me some info like the attebding hours or it's website. &nbsp;Thats why i need to click the shape or any objct. &nbsp;I dobt know if what i am trying to achieve if possible r if armap is the way to go.&nbsp;</P></BODY></HTML> Sat, 24 Sep 2016 17:53:23 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/python-questions/call-script-by-clicking-a-shape/m-p/505895#M39791 simsimba 2016-09-24T17:53:23Z Re: Call script by clicking a shape https://community.esri.com/t5/python-questions/call-script-by-clicking-a-shape/m-p/505896#M39792 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>well that is a hyperlink</P><P><A class="link-titled" href="http://desktop.arcgis.com/en/arcmap/latest/map/working-with-layers/using-hyperlinks.htm" title="http://desktop.arcgis.com/en/arcmap/latest/map/working-with-layers/using-hyperlinks.htm">Using Hyperlinks—Help | ArcGIS for Desktop</A>&nbsp;</P><P>it shows stuff on a click,&nbsp;</P></BODY></HTML> Sat, 24 Sep 2016 20:47:50 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/python-questions/call-script-by-clicking-a-shape/m-p/505896#M39792 DanPatterson_Retired 2016-09-24T20:47:50Z
