Hi Tom,    Please see the information I posted here.  https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-sdk-questions/integration-and-configuration-of-custom-commands/m-p/1206677#M8659   let me know if there are additional questions.    Narelle ... View more

Dirk,     You will likely have to restructure some of your code to fully implement the ability of embedding your dockpane into the Tasks pane.    The daml category that you found ("esri_tasks_embeddableControls") is the correct category to register your code in order for Tasks to recognize it as a component that can be embedded.  But the view/viewModel that the daml entry references via the className attribute should be a class that inherits from ArcGIS.Desktop.Framework.Controls.EmbedableControl.  You can create one of these using the Visual Studio template.      Internally we typically follow the below steps for this pattern. 1. create an internal control and viewModel pair to hold the UI and code behind. 2. create an EmbeddableControl (a view and viewmodel  pair) that hosts and instantiates the control and the control's view model from step1 3. create a DockPane (a view and viewmodel pair) that hosts and instantiate the control and the control's view model from step1. 4. The esri_tasks_embeddableControls daml entry reference the view/viewmodel from step 2.  The "relatedCommand" attribute in that same daml entry references the buttonID that launches the dockpane from step 3.    As you can see, this is an advanced extension pattern that has a certain amount of complexity involved.   I hope this information helps to get you started.    Let me know if you have additional questions.  Narelle ...

Hi David,    Sorry for the late reply.  I have been looking at your post and code and have a few comments.   1.  I'm sure you've read the documentation we have about editing annotation and it's special considerations but am including a link here for reference.  (https://github.com/Esri/arcgis-pro-sdk/wiki/ProConcepts-Editing-Annotation)  2.  The API currently doesn't expose the ability to show the yellow "grabhandle" that you see with the built in Move tool (that identifies the feature being moved).  We have identified this as future functionality we would like to add but currently do not have a timeline identified. 3.  The MapTool.AddOverlay function that you are using will create a graphic from the geometry and symbol parameters that are passed.  This is why you see the line being displayed on the screen.   The line is the baseline geometry  of the annotation feature - the geometry that the annotation text lies on.     To see the annotation text on the overlay,  you should use the AddOverlay function that takes a CIMGraphic  https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/sdk/api-reference/topic27604.html.    The CIMGraphic passed would the CIMTextGraphic of the annotation feature  (found from AnnotationProperties.TextGraphic).  4.  Because you're dealing with annotation and text, it is also important to use the second parameter of that AddOverlay method - the referenceScale.  This can be retrieved from the AnnotationFeatureClassDefinition.  await QueuedTask.Run(() => { var annoFC = _layerAnno.GetFeatureClass() as AnnotationFeatureClass; var annoFCDef = annoFC.GetDefinition() as AnnotationFeatureClassDefinition; _annoRefScale = annoFCDef.GetReferenceScale(); var refScaleUnits = annoFCDef.GetReferenceScaleUnits(); });   So the AddOverlay routine would become  _graphic = AddOverlay(_trackedTextGraphic, _annoRefScale);   5.  Unfortunately there is no MapTool.UpdateOverlay method that supports the moving of text graphics in the manner used in your code.  This is a gap in our API that was found as a result of looking at your post and it will be fixed in the next Pro release.   Thanks for helping to identify this.  6. In the meantime a work around would be to dispose of the previous graphic and create a new one with the CIMTextGraphic at the moved geometry position.  Unfortunately because this is in  MouseMove, the performance may not be as smooth as the standard tool.  Here's a sample of code that could replace your UpdateOverlay call Geometry movedGeometry = null; if (_trackedSide == "up" || _trackedSide == "down") { movedGeometry = GeometryEngine.Instance.Move(_trackedGeometry, x, 0); } else { movedGeometry = GeometryEngine.Instance.Move(_trackedGeometry, 0, y); } lock (_lock) { if (_graphic != null) _graphic.Dispose(); var newGraphic = _trackedTextGraphic.Clone(); newGraphic.Shape = movedGeometry; _graphic = AddOverlay(newGraphic, _annoRefScale); }   I hope this provides some clarification and helps you make progress with your tool.  Please let me know if you have any questions or comments about the above.   Regards Narelle ...

Hi Roxana,    Unfortunately these trace options are not currently available in the public API.  I will create an issue to add these in a future release.    regards Narelle   ... View more

Hello,  I don't believe we have anything in the public API that will currently support what you are trying to accomplish with regards to highlighted rows.  We do have an issue in the backlog to add additional API functionality to the attributes pane so I will add this requirement to that list.   We are hoping to address this issue for the next release.    Thanks Narelle ...

Hi Karen,  I have taken a look at this, and can duplicate the behavior that you're seeing.  Namely that modifying some map properties - either via some of the API calls or by modifying the CIMMap properties directly - can cause the sketch to be cancelled.   In your scenario because you haven't yet started a sketch this will cause the tool to become deactivated.     Unfortunately, I don't have a workaround at this time.    But can I ask you to explain your workflow as to why you are changing the map's spatial reference in the tool activation.  If I understand your workflow, perhaps I can make a suggestion which will avoid the problem.     thanks Narelle   ...

Hi Berndt,  Yes, sorry.  The code I gave you was 3.0 code.   OpenMapPaneAsync was OpenMapPane in previous versions of the SDK (we added the Async suffix at 3.0 for naming consistencies).  Rather than the name of the map / mapView / pane it is better to be using the CIM path of the map.  This is guaranteed to be unique within the project and is exposed as Map.Uri.   It is also the MapProjectItem.Path and also IMapPane.ContentID.    so the code above would be as follows if you were starting with a map name.    private void ActivateOrOpenMapPane(string mapName) { var mapProjItem = Project.Current.GetItems<MapProjectItem>().FirstOrDefault(mpi => mpi.Name == mapName); if (mapProjItem != null) { // is it already open? - check the open panes var mapPane = ProApp.Panes.OfType<IMapPane>().FirstOrDefault(mPane => (mPane as Pane).ContentID == mapProjItem.Path); if (mapPane != null) { var pane = mapPane as Pane; pane.Activate(); } else { // open a new mapPane mapProjItem.OpenMapPaneAsync(); // OR use the following // it does the same thing as MapProjectItem.OpenMapPaneAsync //QueuedTask.Run(() => //{ // var map = mapProjItem.GetMap(); // ProApp.Panes.CreateMapPaneAsync(map); //}); } } else { // mapName is not in the project. } }   Let me know if this still doesn't execute as you expect for your workflow.

Hi David,  I'd recommend taking a look at this section of the map exploration ProConcepts with regards to handling mouse down in a MapTool  https://github.com/ArcGIS/arcgis-pro-sdk/wiki/ProConcepts-Map-Exploration#mouse-and-keyboard-events   and this sample which offers as example (In particular look at the way the BasicMapTool uses the OnToolMouseDown and HandleMouseDownAsync methods) https://github.com/Esri/arcgis-pro-sdk-community-samples/tree/6078006a3943364f2a7931b19d1eb03c8a99e1cf/Map-Exploration/BasicMapTool   There are similar options for MouseUp and MouseMove on the MapTool.   You could incorporate these methods into your solution.  One option would be to note when a left mouse down occurs  (ie set a variable - mouseDown = true), trap the mouse move (and perform some action when mousedown == true), and finally note when the mouse up occurs (and clear the mouseDown variable).   You could execute the editOperation in the MouseUp if enough distance has been travelled by the mouse.    I hope this gives you some ideas.  Narelle       ...

Hi Berndt,    Take a look at the following snippet.  As I understand, it will achieve what you're asking for.  That is, if there is an open pane for the map it will activate it.  If there isn't a map pane, it will create / open one.    private void ActivateOrOpenMapPane(string mapName) { var mapProjItem = Project.Current.GetItems<MapProjectItem>().FirstOrDefault(mp => mp.Name == mapName); if (mapProjItem != null) { // is it already open? - check the open panes var mapPane = ProApp.Panes.OfType<IMapPane>().FirstOrDefault(pane => pane.Caption == mapName); if (mapPane != null) { var pane = mapPane as Pane; pane.Activate(); } else { // open a new mapPane mapProjItem.OpenMapPaneAsync(); // OR use the following // it does the same thing as MapProjectItem.OpenMapPaneAsync //QueuedTask.Run(() => //{ // var map = mapProjItem.GetMap(); // ProApp.Panes.CreateMapPaneAsync(map); //}); } } else { // mapName is not in the project. } }   I apologize for the snippet "Get the Unique List of Maps From the Map Panes" crashing.  At early releases of ArcGIS Pro the MapPane objects were always fully populated (that is the MapView and the Map could be accessed), however over the releases loading optimizations have taken place and now the Map on the MapView is only accessible after it has been the active MapView.   This is the issue that you're seeing that is causing the crash.   I will ensure that the code is removed.   Please let me know if the snippet provided doesn't help.   Narelle.    ...

Hello,    Currently the API only provides the ability to geocode addresses and return locations.  It is not presently possible to reverse geocode locations  to obtain address results.    We will add this as an enhancement to the API in a future release.    Narelle   ... View more
