OK, so I've created a work around for this but regardless of whether I create an Editor Extension, or just an Extension, I cannot get the extension to toggle on/off....even when it is showing in the Extensions Window with the toggle checkbox. What I am going with is an Editor Extension, and I have created a way for the user to 'disable' the functionality when they start editing by answering a question to a MessageBox: void Events_OnStartEditing() { maximoTracking = false; if (MessageBox.Show("Would you also like to enable the Maximo edit tracking?", "Enable Maximo Tracking?", MessageBoxButtons.YesNo, MessageBoxIcon.Question) == DialogResult.No) return; else maximoTracking = true;   I'm thinking there has got to be a better way to do this, but for now this is working. I did find some ideas in this thread, but nothing seemed to work: https://community.esri.com/t5/arcobjects-sdk-questions/add-in-custom-editor-extension-does-not-show-in-the-toolbar/td-p/172604 Thanks, ...

Hi Wolf, OK, so things seem to be working better now.   Since most of these tools I create are shared, I actually have them all sitting on a shared folder on the network.  All the users connect to the folder to bring in the tools to ArcGIS Pro. Correct me if I am wrong, but if I update the "Version" in the config.daml when I am updating the tools on my PC, when I go to Build/Debug the project won't ArcGIS Pro see the updated version sitting in my AddIns folder and load up that one and NOT the one sitting on the network (with the older version #)?? Otherwise, the .ConnectionStatus does seem to be working with the new code you sent me.  The only difference I see is using FeatureLayer instead of BasicFeatureLayer.  Is that the issue?? ...

Hi.  Just saw this thread and I would say that most of my tools definitely have a delay the first time you run them too.  I create all mine in Visual Studio (C#).  If there is anything to try to help improve the performance of that 'first click', I'd be interested too. Thanks, ... View more

And just to add to my comment above, if I remove the 'broken' layer from the Map and run the tool, all is good.  But then I will 'Undo' to get the broken layer back in the Map and run the tool, then it fails again with the NullReference exception.   ... View more

Hi Wolf, Well I still get the NullReference exception, but at a different line of code.....see below. Basically with this tool, I was trying to add a way to detect a 'broken' layer.  As the code was, it would always crash when a broken layer was in the Map, so I just wanted to notify the user to fix the layer before proceeding.  I guess I could just throw an Exception handler in there.  I'm not quite clear on what is happening here.     ...

Hi Wolf, When using your code, on a button with only that code on it, it works as expected and I see the 'Broken' status in the debug window. If I take your code and plug it into mine, which is also the click event of a button, I still get the NullReference error.  I'll paste all of my code below, but it must be something in my code that is the problem....I'm just not really sure what, or why. There's a fair bit going on here, but I've tried to highlight (******) where the issues are.....just in the OnClick() portion as far as I can tell.     using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Linq; using System.Text; using System.Threading.Tasks; using ArcGIS.Core.CIM; using ArcGIS.Core.Data; using ArcGIS.Core.Geometry; using ArcGIS.Desktop.Catalog; using ArcGIS.Desktop.Core; using ArcGIS.Desktop.Editing; using ArcGIS.Desktop.Extensions; using ArcGIS.Desktop.Framework; using ArcGIS.Desktop.Framework.Contracts; using ArcGIS.Desktop.Framework.Dialogs; using ArcGIS.Desktop.Framework.Threading.Tasks; using ArcGIS.Desktop.Mapping; using System.Collections; using System.Windows.Input; namespace ArcPro_DSM_Settings { internal class FacilityID_Button : Button { FeatureLayer localMunicipalityLayer; string gridNumber, structureType; int sequenceNumber; string settlementArea, vlsFolder; protected override void OnClick() { Map map = MapView.Active.Map; //******* where I have inserted your code foreach (Layer layer in map.GetLayersAsFlattenedList().OfType<FeatureLayer>()) { //var currentLayer = map.FindLayers(layer.Name).FirstOrDefault() as BasicFeatureLayer; var currentLayer = layer as BasicFeatureLayer; System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine($@"Name: {currentLayer.Name} Type: {currentLayer.GetType()} Connect status: {currentLayer.ConnectionStatus}"); } return; int featureCount = 0; int rejectedCount = 0; Cursor theCursor = Cursors.Wait; try { QueuedTask.Run(() => { //Get each layer that needs to be part of the intersection as a FeatureLayer FeatureLayer gridLayer = map.GetLayersAsFlattenedList().OfType<FeatureLayer>().Where(l => l.Name.Equals("GISWRKS1.WORKS.LAND_Grid", StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase)).FirstOrDefault(); localMunicipalityLayer = map.GetLayersAsFlattenedList().OfType<FeatureLayer>().Where(l => l.Name.Equals("GISWRKS1.WORKS.LAND_LocalMunicipality", StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase)).FirstOrDefault(); FeatureLayer administrativeAreaLayer = map.GetLayersAsFlattenedList().OfType<FeatureLayer>().Where(l => l.Name.Equals("GISWRKS1.WORKS.LAND_AdministrativeArea", StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase)).FirstOrDefault(); FeatureLayer communitiesLayer = map.GetLayersAsFlattenedList().OfType<FeatureLayer>().Where(l => l.Name.Equals("GISWRKS1.WORKS.LAND_Communities", StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase)).FirstOrDefault(); FeatureLayer depotAreaLayer = map.GetLayersAsFlattenedList().OfType<FeatureLayer>().Where(l => l.Name.Equals("GISWRKS1.WORKS.LAND_DepotArea", StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase)).FirstOrDefault(); FeatureLayer pressureZoneLayer = map.GetLayersAsFlattenedList().OfType<FeatureLayer>().Where(l => l.Name.Equals("GISWRKS1.WORKS.WAT_PressureZone", StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase)).FirstOrDefault(); FeatureLayer vlsLayer = map.GetLayersAsFlattenedList().OfType<FeatureLayer>().Where(l => l.Name.Equals("GISWRKS1.WORKS.VLS_Points", StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase)).FirstOrDefault(); //Check to make sure they are all in the map if (gridLayer == null || localMunicipalityLayer == null || administrativeAreaLayer == null || communitiesLayer == null || depotAreaLayer == null || pressureZoneLayer == null) { ArcGIS.Desktop.Framework.Dialogs.MessageBox.Show("Please add the LAND and Water Pressure Zone layers before proceeding.", "Missing Layers"); return; } //Create the MAIN edit operation...this will show up on the Undo Stack var editOperation = new ArcGIS.Desktop.Editing.EditOperation(); editOperation.Name = "Create new Facility IDs"; editOperation.ProgressMessage = "Calculating FacilityID's..."; editOperation.ShowProgressor = true; editOperation.CancelMessage = "Operation Cancelled"; editOperation.ErrorMessage = "Error Creating FacilityIDs"; editOperation.EditOperationType = ArcGIS.Desktop.Editing.EditOperationType.Long; ArcGIS.Desktop.Editing.EditOperation chainedOp = null; //create the Inspector Object var inspector = new ArcGIS.Desktop.Editing.Attributes.Inspector(); //create a flag to track the 'main' operation bool isMainOperation = true; //Check for any Joins on layers with a selected feature Boolean joinExists = false; Boolean brokenExists = false; foreach (Layer layer in map.GetLayersAsFlattenedList().OfType<FeatureLayer>()) { var currentLayer = map.FindLayers(layer.Name).FirstOrDefault() as BasicFeatureLayer; //***** where my original code get the NullReference exception if (currentLayer.ConnectionStatus == ConnectionStatus.Broken) { ArcGIS.Desktop.Framework.Dialogs.MessageBox.Show(currentLayer.Name.ToString() + " has a missing data source.

Hi Wolf, No, there is nowhere in my code where I am doing anything with the object.  I have been messing around, checking for the broken layer in different way, but I always get a NullReference error. Since I also need to check for joined tablets, I am using the BasicFeatureLayer object which also uses .ConnectionStatus, but still the same problem. Can you post your code you are using and I will try that??  Here is mine below, all running in a QueuedTask.  The error happens right at the start of the first If statement. foreach (Layer layer in map.GetLayersAsFlattenedList().OfType<FeatureLayer>()) { var currentLayer = map.FindLayers(layer.Name).FirstOrDefault() as BasicFeatureLayer; if (currentLayer.ConnectionStatus == ConnectionStatus.Broken) { //THE ERROR HAPPENS HERE!!!!! ArcGIS.Desktop.Framework.Dialogs.MessageBox.Show(currentLayer.Name.ToString() + " has a missing data source. Please remove or fix this layer before continuing.", "Missing Data Source"); return; } if ((currentLayer.GetTable().IsJoinedTable() == true) && (currentLayer.SelectionCount > 0)) { ArcGIS.Desktop.Framework.Dialogs.MessageBox.Show(currentLayer.Name.ToString() + " has a joined table. Please remove any joins before continuing.", "Joined table detected"); joinExists = true; } }     In Debug mode it seems like the values are getting read properly, yet I still get the NullReference exception.     ...

Hi Wolfgang, Just to follow up on this, I did work with esri Canada on this and the end result is that the TEST environment I was using must have some flaw in it.  esri Canada also could not reproduce the issue, and after trying the exact same code in our PRODUCTION environment there were no issues. So I guess a rebuild of our TEST environment is in order, which should happen soon. Thanks for all your help with this. ... View more

Hi Wolfgang, I am also using a FileGeodatabase.    When I debug it gets past the first layer, which is "Connected", but on the second layer (the one with the missing data source), I get the exception below thrown. With mine, I am editing the name of the FeatureClass, not changing the folder name the FGDB sits in.  Not sure if that would be the difference??     ... View more
