Hi Emily, Progress dialog boxes are disabled when debugging via Visual Studio. That might be why you are not seeing the cancelable progressor. Try running your add-in outside of the debugger. Note: Dockpanes are not actually destroyed when you close them (I assume you mean "Dockpane" when you say "form"?) - they are hidden. "Opening" them just makes them visible again. FYI, if you haven't had a chance to look at it yet - this document goes into the gory details of cancelation: ProConcepts Framework#progress-and-cancelation....(I also add the link to this comment for other readers of your thread) ...

I cannot reproduce Ted. Somewhere the style or brush is getting overwritten. If you'd like me to debug you'll have to get the Add-in code to me ... View more

Ted, you have something else going on. When I put your xaml directly into a Dockpane it looks fine. I am thinking your UserControl is part of a larger UI on a dockpane? If so, somewhere along the line, in one of your user control parents, I suspect the underlying foreground color for the default TextBlock style is getting overwritten or, less likely, the Foreground color itself (brush, technically speaking) is getting overwritten. Paste this xaml into the bottom of your StackPanel and see how it looks on your UserControl... <TextBlock Style="{DynamicResource Esri_TextBlockRegular}" Margin="0,10,0,0"                  Text="Esri_TextStyleDefaultBrush" VerticalAlignment="Center"                  Foreground="{DynamicResource Esri_TextStyleDefaultBrush}"/>       <Rectangle Width="200" Height="30" Fill="{DynamicResource Esri_TextStyleDefaultBrush}"/>       <TextBlock Style="{DynamicResource Esri_TextBlockRegular}"                  Text="Esri_Gray170_Brush" VerticalAlignment="Center"                  Foreground="{DynamicResource Esri_Gray170_Brush}"/>       <Rectangle Width="200" Height="30" Fill="{DynamicResource Esri_Gray170_Brush}"/>‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ This is what I see...(the red box and arrow are mine - not in the xaml). See, on your dockpane, if the text and rectangle colors ~match~ your original text color (dim) or do not match (bright). I am thinking that both the text and boxes will look ok (bright). ...

Hi James, unfortunately, there is no workaround. ... View more

Thanks Mark. We've added this as an issue for our next release after 2.2. ... View more

>>Can you programmatically set the position/width/height of a floating dockpane, or can this only be controlled in the DAML file?  You set the docking behavior in the DAML.

Try using the path to the FeatureServer itself. You should get a parent composite layer ("group") that contains all of the individual layer end points (however many there are). LayerFactory.Instance.CreateLayer(new Uri("http://....url here.../FeatureServer", UriKind.Absolute), MapView.Active.Map);‍ ... View more

"esri_editing_EditVerticesRotate" is a button (i.e. "command") not a tool. Try this instead:   //elsewhere   private ICommand _rotate = null;   //Do work, process sketch, etc.   //ArcGIS.Desktop.Framework.FrameworkApplication.SetCurrentToolAsync(   //          "esri_editing_EditVerticesRotate");   //activate rotate   if (_rotate == null)         _rotate =   FrameworkApplication.GetPlugInWrapper("esri_editing_EditVerticesRotate") as ICommand;   if (_rotate.CanExecute(null))   {       _rotate.Execute(null);   }   ‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ I am not sure why you are deadlocking. FrameworkApplication.SetCurrentToolAsync would be a no-op in your case because the tool "esri_editing_EditVerticesRotate" does not exist. ... View more

Try this.  internal class CreateScaleBar : Button   {     protected async override void OnClick()     {       var arcgis_2d = Project.Current.GetItems<StyleProjectItem>().First(si => si.Name == "ArcGIS 2D");       var layout = LayoutView.Active.Layout;       StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();       await QueuedTask.Run(() =>       {         var scaleBarStyle = arcgis_2d.SearchScaleBars("Imperial Double Alternating Scale Bar").First();         Coordinate2D coord = new Coordinate2D(1.5, 0.5);         MapFrame mf = layout.FindElement("Map Frame") as MapFrame;         var scalebar = LayoutElementFactory.Instance.CreateScaleBar(layout, coord, mf, scaleBarStyle);         //customize         var cimdef = scalebar.GetDefinition() as CIMDoubleFillScaleBar;         //divisions         cimdef.Divisions = 3;//1 for the sub-divisions and two others         cimdef.Subdivisions = 2;         //text - division labels         var textCim = SymbolFactory.Instance.ConstructTextSymbol(           ColorFactory.Instance.BlueRGB, 12, "Verdana", "Regular");         cimdef.LabelSymbol = textCim.MakeSymbolReference();         //unit label - "Miles"         cimdef.UnitLabelSymbol = textCim.MakeSymbolReference();         //number format (I have no idea what some of these do so feel         //free to fiddle - I just set everything...)         cimdef.NumberFormat = new CIMNumericFormat()         {           AlignmentOption = esriNumericAlignmentEnum.esriAlignLeft,           AlignmentWidth = 10,           RoundingOption = esriRoundingOptionEnum.esriRoundNumberOfDecimals,           RoundingValue = 1,           ShowPlusSign = false,           UseSeparator = true,           ZeroPad = false         };         //with the CIM you ~must~ set the definition back!         scalebar.SetDefinition(cimdef);       });     }   }‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ ...
