I'm needing to programmatically display a form at the upper left position of ArcMap the data view.
How do I get the X/Y position?
examine the properties and the code examples in the dataframe section in arcpy
I'm working with ArcGIS 10.2.2 version and ArcObjects. I haven't used Python at all.
https://community.esri.com/community/developers/gis-developers/arcobjects-sdk?sr=search&searchId=69f... might be a good place to move your thread too... generic gis is probably going to of little help for you especially given the legacy/older version of arcmap
Thanks Dan, I will take that under consideration on future postings.
OK... I found some code that got me access to the Standard toolbar within ArcMap. Just a little modifications to obtain the starting location of the toolbar which I can use anchor my form until it's closed.
'
' --- Get coordinates of the upper left corner of the Standard Bar (location)
' This will be used to position the Move Post form
'
Dim documentBars As ICommandBars = gApplication.Document.CommandBars 'app is a reference to IApplication
Dim barID As UID = New UIDClass
barID.Value = "{5DEB1DB8-C2A9-11D1-B9A2-080009EE4E51}"
Dim bar As ICommandItem = documentBars.Find(barID)
Dim windowPos As IWindowPosition = CType(bar, IWindowPosition)
'If windowPos.State = esriWindowState.esriWSFloating Then
' MsgBox("Standard toolbar is floating.")
'Else
' MsgBox("Standard toolbar is docked.")
'End If
'
' --- Call create Move Post form
'
gfrmMovePost = New MovePost
'
' --- Change the location of the form
'
gfrmMovePost.Top = windowPos.Top
gfrmMovePost.Left = windowPos.Left
'
' --- Call form and display it
'
gfrmMovePost.Show()
