Query button will do the trick to search inside a shapefile. Will changes to the API potentially break current customizations?  This is very important in order to plan resources for this upgrade.  Any information you could provide ahead of the release would be very helpful.  Thanks! ... View more

It is not clear to me what you are trying to achieve, but this sample might give you some clues: Sample: Custom selection extension Specifically, creating static references to controls on the dockable window (like your listbox), and methods to act on them, in the dockable window class. The sample uses a listview. Is there a particular reason why you are using the UserData property? -Jeff Thanks!  This sample helps. ... View more

From a ESRI.ArcGIS.Desktop.AddIns.Button, I would like to get the list box from the dockable window; see below.  Where in the dockable window code can I set the User Data property?  Is this the correct approach?         protected override void OnClick()         {             IDockableWindowManager dockWindowManager = ArcMap.DockableWindowManager as IDockableWindowManager;             if (dockWindowManager != null)             {                 UID windowID = new UIDClass();                 windowID.Value = "DocWin";                 IDockableWindow docWin = dockWindowManager.GetDockableWindow(windowID);                 if (docWin.IsVisible())                 {                     docWin.Show(false);                 }                 else                 {                     docWin.Show(true);                 }                 System.Windows.Forms.ListBox containedBox = docWin.UserData as System.Windows.Forms.ListBox;                 if (containedBox != null) containedBox.Items.Add("Test 1");             }         } --------------- Docable window class code /// <summary>     /// Designer class of the dockable window add-in.

How do you set the UserData property of a dockable window when implementing it as an Add-In? Is there a developer sample which shows this? Thanks! I'm still having a problem.  Any help would be very much appreciated, i.e. sample code? ... View more

How do I implement IDockableWindowDef and set UserData with Add-In method?    public partial class DocWin : UserControl     {         public DocWin(object hook)         {             InitializeComponent();             this.Hook = hook;         }         /// <summary>         /// Host object of the dockable window         /// </summary>         private object Hook         {             get;             set;         }         /// <summary>         /// Implementation class of the dockable window add-in.

I am having this same problem.  Can someone at ESRI comment?  Who created this sample? I have followed the basic example for creating a SOAP Server Object Extension (SOE) using the walkthrough provided by ESRI, but have encountered a problem: [INDENT]It appears that ArcGIS Server is not looking in the "XmlClassRegistry" folder/sub-folders for files defining mappings between custom XML and COM-visible types. The effect is that any attempt to deserialize an XML type as its corresponding COM class fails with "Exception from HRESULT: 0x80043068" (XML_SERIALIZE_E_CANT_MAP_XMLTYPE_TO_CLASS). If the custom XML/COM type mapping definitions are moved to the "XmlSupport.dat" that ArcGIS Server uses to map ESRI types, then the custom types can be correctly deserialized. [/INDENT] Is there a defect in ArcGIS Server related to custom type deserialization, or is the SOAP SOE walkthrough incomplete in this regard? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks ...

I am very interested in this functionality as well. ... View more

Relationship classes (and feature datasets) can be viewed by users who do not have permissions to the related data.  This presents a security issue since users should not know any relathionships exist unless they are granted permissions to them.   See description of issue here: http://forums.arcgis.com/threads/20223-See-Datasets-and-Relationships-without-granting-permissions ...

I don't think so. This has been discussed extensively in the past (search forums.esri.com). It comes down to a design constraint -- If Desktop had to check for the existance of every table referenced by any FDS before the initial "open" returned data, some sites would be taking 30+ minute coffee breaks upon initial connect. Your only options are to either forgo FDS membership (i.e., you're using it as a container, not to edit related tables with shared topology) or to be less explicit in your FDS naming scheme. - V Thanks for your comments.  We could do away with FDS, but relationships would be hard.  Even if we rename the relationship classes to something non-descriptive, the error message when a user clicks on the relationship displays the name of the feature class which the user does not have access to.  We do not want folks to see this.  As a work-around, we could drop all GDB relationship classes, and have an ArcMap tool which builds these on-the-fly as ArcMap document relationships for the feature classes in the document?  Not optimal, but may work? ...

Feature Datasets and Relationships are not RDBMS objects which can have access defined (just rows in SDE-owned tables).  The actual tables ("feature classes") can have GRANTs applied, so the contents of the meta-objects can be restricted to specific users (if you look inside a FDS as an unprivileged user, it will be empty). - V Is there a way to hide feature datasets and relationships from users when they connect to the ArcSDE database?  This is a security issue whereby users should not know these feature datasets exist unless they have access to the feature dataset's objects.  There names give away too much information.  Thanks. ...
