Yes.  I was initializing it wrong.  I am able to set my camera to focus on my items centroid (lat/long) with this code.  I had to convert the lat long to x/y.  But it works quite well //Get the Camera Position of the Item to Print                            Camera CurrentApplicationCameraPosition = MapView.Active.Camera; if (exportItemCentroid.SpatialReference.Wkid != CurrentApplicationCameraPosition.SpatialReference.Wkid) {    var transformation =    ProjectionTransformation.Create(exportItemCentroid.SpatialReference,    CurrentApplicationCameraPosition.SpatialReference);    exportItemCentroid= GeometryEngine.Instance.ProjectEx(exportItemCentroid, transformation) as MapPoint; } CurrentApplicationCameraPosition.X = exportItemCentroid.X; CurrentApplicationCameraPosition.Y = exportItemCentroid.Y; MapFrame mapFrame = layout.FindElement("MapLayer") as MapFrame; mapFrame.SetMap(MapView.Active.Map); mapFrame.SetCamera(CurrentApplicationCameraPosition);‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ ...

No that i have that reference to the correct LayoutProjectItem, I am having trouble moving the mapFrame from the mapview.  I seem to continue to get the same map location in my map frame.  I want to move the from pragmatically according to some lat/long or x/y that i send the function.  But when i change the camera X or Y when debugging in the below code, the camera stays in the same spot in my resulting layout print out. //Get a Layout Element Text and update its values                 if (layoutItem != null)                 {                     await QueuedTask.Run(() =>                     {                         // Reference and load the layout associated with the layout item                         Layout layout = layoutItem.GetLayout();                         if (layout != null)                         {                             IEnumerable<Element> LayoutElements = layout.Elements;                             //Find a single specific element                             TextElement rect = layout.FindElement("Text ID") as TextElement;                             rect.SetTextProperties(new TextProperties("Test1Mat", rect.TextProperties.Font, rect.TextProperties.FontSize, rect.TextProperties.FontStyle)); //Change Position of the Map Frame elements focus                             Camera newPosition = new Camera();                             newPosition.X = MapView.Active.Camera.X;                             newPosition.Y = MapView.Active.Camera.Y;                             MapFrame mapFrame = layout.FindElement("MapLayer") as MapFrame;                             mapFrame.SetMap(MapView.Active.Map); //I CHANGE the newPosition X and Y below for different printouts, but they all seem to be focused on the same spot of my Active Map                             mapFrame.SetCamera(newPosition);                         }                     });                 }‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ ...

My work around it to add the LayoutProjectItem to the Project if it doesn't already exist, and then close that pane immediatly afterwards.  I don't want the users to see my Layout template.  I then proceed to edit the Elements on that layout page and export the layout to a pdf.  This way a user will never see the layout.  I do need to add the pagx file to the configx file and reference it, but that shouldn't be too difficult. ProApp.Panes.CloseLayoutPanes(LayoutURI); //1. See if the layouts have been imported to this Project //Reference all the layout project items IEnumerable<LayoutProjectItem> layouts = Project.Current.GetItems<LayoutProjectItem>(); //Or reference a specific layout project item by name LayoutProjectItem layoutItem = Project.Current.GetItems<LayoutProjectItem>().FirstOrDefault(item => item.Name.Equals("xMap")); string LayoutURI = ""; //If the layout is null, then import them if (layoutItem == null) { await QueuedTask.Run(() => {                           //Get the layout item from the config file    IProjectItem pagx = ItemFactory.Instance.Create(@"C:\Users\xxx\Documents\xMap.pagx") as IProjectItem;    Project.Current.AddItem(pagx);    layoutItem = Project.Current.GetItems<LayoutProjectItem>().FirstOrDefault(item => item.Name.Equals("XMap"));    //Get the layout URI so we can auto close it    Layout li = layoutItem.GetLayout();    LayoutURI = li.URI;    });   } //Close the layout pane, we don't want to see it if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(LayoutURI)) {    ProApp.Panes.CloseLayoutPanes(LayoutURI); } //Get a Layout Element Text and update it if (layoutItem != null) {    await QueuedTask.Run(() =>    {       // Reference and load the layout associated with the layout item       Layout layout = layoutItem.GetLayout();       if (layout != null)       {          //Find a single specific element             TextElement rect = layout.FindElement("XElementID") as TextElement;             rect.SetTextProperties(new TextProperties("TestRename",             rect.TextProperties.Font, rect.TextProperties.FontSize,             rect.TextProperties.FontStyle));       }    }); } //Export the Layout Element if (layoutItem != null) {    // Create the log file and write the current Folder-Connection's to it    SaveItemDialog saveDialog = new SaveItemDialog();    saveDialog.Title = "Export the current selected map series item";    saveDialog.OverwritePrompt = true;    saveDialog.DefaultExt = "pdf";    // If the save dialog was not dismissed, create the file    if (saveDialog.ShowDialog() == true)    {       await QueuedTask.Run(() =>       {          Layout testlayout = layoutItem.GetLayout();                                      PDFFormat PDF = new PDFFormat()          {             Resolution = 300,             OutputFileName = saveDialog.FilePath          };          if (PDF.ValidateOutputFilePath())          {             testlayout.Export(PDF);                                     }       });    } }‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ ...

Can you think of any type of work around for this?  I don't want the templates or layouts to open at all.  But if they do, i want to have that layout tab close automatically, or when i add the LayoutProjectItem, I quickly close it.  I think after the first time, when it is already in the project I can reference it, but I want to add them all for a project and then close them all.  Then they can all be referenced without opening them. ...

I still haven't gotten back to this, but what you mention above about using the args.Guid to determine reentrance is exactly what I do.  When we get to upgrading our version to 2.2 I will be able to work on this more.  But I am still suspecting that it has something to do with assigning the Geometry to an inspector on the Row when I load it from change event arg.  I think the Shape is not getting loaded correctly to my inspector and is somehow using the old shape on for the Row, and not the updated shape? long _updateOID = args.Row.GetObjectID(); //Get the layer of the selected item FeatureClass newFC = (FeatureClass)args.Row.GetTable(); string updateItemName = newFC.GetDefinition().GetAliasName(); FeatureLayer firstFeatureLayer = FeatureServiceManagement.GetFeatureLayer(updateItemName); //Load the inspector await inspr.LoadAsync(firstFeatureLayer, _updateOID); . ...

I want to put a button on my dockpane that "Sets Ideal Size/Position".  I have a grid in the dock that is used, and it doesn't look good unless it is at a certain width and height.  How can i set the Width/Height from code?  I can't seem to get this to work.  I want my users to be able to just click the button to get the window to the ideal width.  I understand that initially it will be docked, and then when you move it, it will retain that position.  But I want to be able make this easy for a user.  Having problems accomplishing this. I know for a Window it is quite easy, but not having much luck doing it for a user control. ... View more

So this is a drastic change then?  I cannot call apply changes from within a row create/row change event any longer?  Will the change you suggest work in 2.1?  Or do we have to make all these changes in 2.2 sdk and deploy to 2.2 installation.  My production code is out there in 2.1 and we are still developing against 2.1, so my question is will the code changes made to work in 2.2, still work in 2.1.  This will require some effort to get this upgraded. My polygon features rely and other polygon features of a different class.  Some must be confined within a polygon of a different type, some cannot intersect a polygon of a different type.  Their attributes and shapes are changed accordingly using applyasync.  So imagine if I shrunk a "Parent" polygon, the child polygon of a different feature lies within that polygon.  When that parent polygon shrinks, the child polygon must shrink itself to stay confined, and in most cases update a number of area and location attributes.   You are saying that I will need to update these values in a different way, whereas before I just told the underlying OID to basically apply changes and the row change event would take care of the work for that Object.  You are saying I can't call row change from withing a row change? ...

I have since had to roll back to the 2.1 version as we are in Production now and don't want to upgrade the users version yet.  I plan on upgrading and testing again soon.  The one thing that i do see that is different is that you are using the row whereas I am loading the inspector with the OID from the Arg.  I am thinking it must be something with the Geometry on a non new arg when I load the inspector?  protected static async void OnRowCreateEvent(RowChangedEventArgs args)         {             try             {                 Inspector inspr = await GetInspectorForRow(args);                 ProMapItem pmi = ProMapFactory.GetProMapItem(inspr);                 if (pmi != null && Settings.CurrentMapSettings != null)                 {                     //pmi.CreatedBy = Settings.CurrentUserName;                     pmi.PlantCode = Settings.CurrentMapSettings.PlantCode;                     pmi.HarvestYear = Settings.CurrentMapSettings.HarvestYear;                     pmi.HarvestTrimester = Settings.CurrentMapSettings.HarvestTrimester;                     pmi.MaterialGroup = Settings.CurrentMapSettings.MaterialGroup;                     //Override of Created/Modified                     pmi.PMCreatedBy = Settings.CurrentUserName;                     pmi.PMModifiedBy = Settings.CurrentUserName;                     //Make the initial commit to get the field to be visible with the definition query                     await pmi.CommitChangesAsync();                     pmi.ShowEditForm = true;                     pmi.HasShapeChanged = true;                     pmi.IsNew = true;                     await pmi.Edit();                 }             }             catch (Exception e)             {                 ProMapBlackLogWriter.LogError("ProMapBlackModule - onRowCreateEvent", e);             }         } private static async Task<Inspector> GetInspectorForRow(RowChangedEventArgs args)         {             Inspector inspr = new Inspector();             try             {                 long _updateOID = args.Row.GetObjectID();                 //Get the layer of the selected item                 FeatureClass newFC = (FeatureClass)args.Row.GetTable();                 string updateItemName = newFC.GetDefinition().GetAliasName();                 FeatureLayer firstFeatureLayer = FeatureServiceManagement.GetFeatureLayer(updateItemName);                 //Load the inspector                                await inspr.LoadAsync(firstFeatureLayer, _updateOID);             }             catch (Exception e)             {                 ProMapBlackLogWriter.LogError("ProMapBlackModule - GetInspectorForRow", e);             }             return inspr;         }‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ ...

I had to rollback to 2.1 as we are moving to a Production Release and are users will have to start on 2.1 until I have time to move to 2.2 and fix the issue.  I am able to Move/Resize/Rotate/Add Vertices, but the changes I make to that feature from a feature service as a result of this action, don't seem to save.  After i perform one of these Move/Resize/Rotate/Add Vertices actions, my code must sometimes alter that feature to not overlap (Clip) another feature of the same type or to be fully within a different feature (confine).  But with 2.2 this functionality doesn't save.  I am able to do the intersection/difference edits, but the saves simply don't save when I execute or commit them.  I work with the Create/Change functions in my module too, so on create or change event I populate the Feature Service item being created into an inspector like below.  The below code is for create, but the change code works in much the same way.  Both create and change are not saving my edit actions when i commit them. (And Sorry, but for some reason the code block option is not available in the reply here?) protected static async void OnRowCreateEvent(RowChangedEventArgs args) {    try    {       Inspector inspr = await GetInspectorForRow(args, true);       ProMapItem pmi = ProMapFactory.GetProMapItem(inspr);       if (pmi != null && Settings.CurrentMapSettings != null)       {                   //Make the initial commit to get the field to be visible with the definition query          await pmi.CommitChangesAsync();          pmi.ShowEditForm = true;          pmi.HasShapeChanged = true;          pmi.IsNew = true;          //Run the difference and intersection rules so the polygon is confined or cliped          await pmi.Edit();       } } catch (Exception e) { } private static async Task<Inspector> GetInspectorForRow(RowChangedEventArgs args, bool isNewRow) {       Inspector inspr = new Inspector();       try       {          long _updateOID = args.Row.GetObjectID();          //Get the layer of the selected item          FeatureClass newFC = (FeatureClass)args.Row.GetTable();          string updateItemName = newFC.GetDefinition().GetAliasName();          FeatureLayer firstFeatureLayer = FeatureServiceManagement.GetFeatureLayer(updateItemName);          //Load the inspector          await inspr.LoadAsync(firstFeatureLayer, _updateOID);       }       catch (Exception e)       {                }       return inspr; } ...

Yes it would be nice to be able to "Set Ideal Position" somehow.  I can't seem to get the Height/Width to work initially.  I understand that it retains the position you set for it after you close it, but I have a grid in my Dock Pane, and the Grid looks much better at a certain Height/Width.  ...

Sorry I couldn't get back to you yesterday.  What i am trying to do is simply get the difference between to of the same feature from our feature service.  Two of the same type Polygons cannot occupy the same space.  So when you draw one polygon over one or more of the same type polygon(s), it gets the total of those intersecting polygons, and gets the difference of the new polygon minus the intersecting polygons, this is a small part of that code.   I have an object that gets the difference geometry of features of the same type, it then calls this difference procedure and stores the new geometry, but that new geometry doesn't save since the move to 2.2.  New code works and the new polygon is clipped/difference, but when we execute the operation if fails to make the change.  I can't upgrade to this version until i get this resolved.  i am sure it is something simple. public void Difference(Geometry inDifferenceGeometry)         {                        try             {                 //Get the difference of this ProMap Item minus the inDifferenceGeometry                 if (!inDifferenceGeometry.IsNullOrEmpty())                 {                     Geometry originalShape = _dataInspector.Shape;                     Geometry differenceShape = GeometryEngine.Instance.Difference(originalShape, inDifferenceGeometry);                     _dataInspector.Shape = differenceShape;                     //create and execute the edit operation                     // create an edit operation                     EditOperation differenceOperation = new EditOperation()                     {                         Name = "Difference Operation",                         ProgressMessage = "Working...",                         CancelMessage = "Operation canceled.",                         ErrorMessage = "Error In Difference",                         SelectModifiedFeatures = false,                         SelectNewFeatures = false                     };                     differenceOperation.Modify(_dataInspector);                     CommitEditOperation(differenceOperation);                 }             }             catch (Exception e)             {                 LogError("Difference", e);             }             Log.Debug("ProMapItem - Difference - Finished");         } public void CommitEditOperation(EditOperation eo)         {             long currentObjectID = OID;             try             {                 PMModifiedBy = Settings.CurrentUserName;                 //This line makes sure the OnRowChangeEvent in Module is not retriggered, the OnRowChangeEvent checks this list before it continues                 Module.CurrentlyUpdatingOIDList.Add(currentObjectID);                                bool operationResult = eo.Execute();                            }             catch (Exception e)             {                 LogError("CommitEditOperation - " + eo.Name, e);                 throw;             }             finally             {                 Module.CurrentlyUpdatingOIDList.Remove(currentObjectID);             }         }‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ ...
