Hi, you can create forms writing some code. Using VB you can start with something like this:
Dim myForm As New Windows.Forms.Form
Dim myCombo As New Windows.Forms.ComboBox
Dim myCreate As New Windows.Forms.Button
myForm.StartPosition = FormStartPosition.CenterScreen
myForm.Height = 110
myForm.Width = 150
...
To open or load a windows form in ArcGIS 10 add-ins, you need to make the following changes to the class module that is created with the add-in. This example shows how to open a windows form from a button add-in.
In the class module, create a class-level variable:
>> Private myForm As New frmMain
In the OnClick event, add the following code:
>> myForm = New frmMain >> myForm.Show() ' to open the form as modeless window >> 'myForm.ShowDialog() ' to open the form as modal window
In my code below, I first check to see if the window is already open before I call the code to open the form.
>> If myForm IsNot Nothing AndAlso myForm.Visible = False Then
Public Class Test_Button Inherits ESRI.ArcGIS.Desktop.AddIns.Button
Private myForm As New frmMain
Public Sub New()
End Sub
Protected Overrides Sub OnClick() If myForm IsNot Nothing AndAlso myForm.Visible = False Then myForm = New frmMain myForm.Show() ' to open the form as modeless window 'myForm.ShowDialog() ' to open the form as modal window End If End Sub
Protected Overrides Sub OnUpdate() Enabled = My.ArcMap.Application IsNot Nothing End Sub
End Class
