vb.net arcobjects call attribute dialog once a new feature is created

[WuYang]

Hi all,

In my vb.net arcmap add-in application, I want to know how to popup the attribute dialog by arcobjects. I cannot do this by using "Display the attributes dialog before storing new features" because I have more function based on the attributes input of the new created feature.

I tried to find a solution from internet, but failed to get it.

I am using arcmap and arcobjects 10.2.2. Thanks in advance.

When you say "popup the attribute dialog" are you referring to the dockable Attributes panel (available only in edit mode) where you can edit attributes of a feature? Or are you talking about the Attribute Table?

The following VBA calls the button that opens the Attribute Panel as if you had clicked on it.

Public Sub openPanel()
    Dim pUID As IUID
    Set pUID = New UID
    pUID.Value = "{44276914-98C1-11D1-8464-0000F875B9C6}"
    Dim pCommandBars As ICommandBars
    Set pCommandBars = Application.Document.CommandBars
    Dim pCommandItem As ICommandItem
    Set pCommandItem = pCommandBars.Find(pUID, True)
    pCommandItem.Execute
End Sub
