Annotation editing display feedback
My goal is to get these nice annotation editing display feedbacks (see pictures) in a custom annotation editing map tool.
To achieve this I built my own MapTool. In the OnSketchCompleteAsync method I programmatically execute esri_editing_EditVerticesText or esri_editing_EditVerticesModifyFeatures. Editing.daml says both are buttons. See code:
IPlugInWrapper wrapper = FrameworkApplication.GetPlugInWrapper("esri_editing_EditVerticesText");
var command = wrapper as RelayCommand;
command?.Execute(null);
After programmatically clicking these buttons I get the desired display feedback but another out-of-the-box Pro tool becomes the active tool: esri_editing_ModifyFeatureImpl.
After programmatically deactivating the appropriate states I could disable esri_editing_EditingMapCondition which is the condition of the esri_editing_ModifyFeatureImpl tool. As a result esri_editing_ModifyFeatureImpl didn't became the active tool anymore but the desired display feedbacks were gone too.
Question:
I want my custom MapTool to remain Pro's active tool after programmatically executing esri_editing_EditVerticesText so I can catch mouse or key down events but still have the annotation editing display feedbacks. How can I achieve that?
In ArcMap we did the same: we programmatically executed ArcMap commands in a custom tool. This way we could build a all-in-one annotation editing tool that fitted our customers needs and we could re-use the built-in annotation editing display feedbacks.
Any help is much appreciated. Thanks.
