I want to add some layouts to my project from the code. I have about 4 different export templates that I plan to use in a project, so if a user wants to export a selected Item, they select export, the code finds the layout from the Project-->Layouts, updates the text/map elements and saves or shows a pdf to the user.
The problem, is that i want to add these 4 Layouts to a users project if they don't exist. I plan on putting the pagx files in the config.x file, then on loading a project I will add them to the layouts for a project if they don't exist. But when I do this, it "Auto" opens the layout when I use additem or import item from the Project tools. I just want them to be added in the background? This code below adds the items to layout, but it also opens up the layout tabs for each, which i don't want.
//1. See if the layouts have been imported to this Project
//Reference all the layout project items
IEnumerable<LayoutProjectItem> layouts = Project.Current.GetItems<LayoutProjectItem>();
//Or reference a specific layout project item by name
LayoutProjectItem layoutItem = Project.Current.GetItems<LayoutProjectItem>().FirstOrDefault(item => item.Name.Equals("CurrentFieldMapHybrid"));
//*************************
//*************************
//THIS BELOW ADDS THE LAYOUT TO THE CATALOG, BUT OPENS UP THE LAYOUT TABS. I JUST WANT THEM ADDED TO THE LAYOUT CATALOG. BOTH AddItem AND ImportItem do this
//*************************
//*************************
//If the layout is null, then import them
if (layoutItem == null)
{
#region Add new Layout if it doesn't exist
await QueuedTask.Run(() =>
{
//IProjectItem pagx = ItemFactory.Instance.Create(@"xxxxx\CurrentFieldMapHybrid.pagx") as IProjectItem;
//Project.Current.AddItem(pagx);
IProjectMultiItem pagx = ItemFactory.Instance.Create(@"xxxxx\CurrentFieldMapHybrid.pagx") as IProjectMultiItem;
Project.Current.ImportItem(pagx);
});
#endregion
}
Solved! Go to Solution.
When will 2.3 be released. I would like to get my users on the latest version, as they are still on 2.1.2. But if you are planning a new release soon, i might wait.
2.3 isn't planned for release until the start of 2019.
