ICommandItem Issue

[SaurabhGupta5]

Hello Everyone,

I am facing small issue in arcobject programming, please help me out from this.

I am using below function to activate editor toolbar

internal void OpenCommandItem(string strUID)

        {

            UID pAttributeEditorUID = new UID();

            pAttributeEditorUID.Value = strUID;

            IMxDocument pmxDoc = ArcMap.Document;

            IDocument pDoc = (IDocument)pmxDoc;

            ICommandBars pCmdBars = pDoc.CommandBars;

            ICommandItem pCommItem = pCmdBars.Find(pAttributeEditorUID, false, false);

            pCommItem.Execute();

            pCommItem.Refresh();          

        }

parameter value is : esriArcMapUI.EditingToolbarCommand

Now, When i am closing the arcmap without closing editor toolbar and next time i use same function to activate it , actually it is hiding toolbar that time. It is only working in scenario when i am closing editor toolbar manually before closing arcmap. Please suggest .

Hi

Try ((ICommandBar)pCommItem).IsVisible  to show if it is already visible

Thanks for quick reply but i am getting following error

Cannot cast 'pCommItem' (which has an actual type of 'System.__ComObject') to 'ESRI.ArcGIS.Framework.ICommandBar'

You are getting the command to turn on the toolbar and not the toolbar itself.

You can try something like this

ICommand cmd =  pCommItem.Command

Then check cmd.Checked

Did not tried it but should work

Hi Mody,

There is nothing like pCommItem.Command.

ICommandItem is your var of type ICommandItem.

This interface have Command property, try get_Command.

i can able to make out this using

UID uid = new UIDClass();

            uid.Value = "esriEditor.EditingToolbarNew";

            ICommandBar pCI = (ICommandBar)ArcMap.Application.Document.CommandBars.Find(uid, false, false);

            UID id = new UIDClass();

            id.Value = "esriArcMapUI.EditingToolbarCommand";

            ICommandItem ec = (ICommandItem)ArcMap.Application.Document.CommandBars.Find(id, false, false);

            bool visibility = pCI.IsVisible();

            if (!visibility)

                ec.Execute();

still if there is any better way please let me know thanks
