Greetings,
I'm very inexperienced at programming, especially when it comes to creating ArcMap add-ins, so I decided to ask here for some advise:
I created a tool that automates a tedious process that requires user inputs, but instead of hard-coding the user inputs, I would like to create a custom window that would launch upon a button click and provide input options for the user, along with a button or two to initiate the process.
Is this possible? If so, how would I create this? Do I have to use the dockable window? The user inputs would be used to construct a SQL query.
Thank you,
Andrew

You do this by creating User Interfaces that capture and manipulate information from the user. How this occurs depends upon which path the developer intends to take things. Here's a good resource to start reading that reviews these various options -- building Add-ins or installable components, it really depends upon specific requirements only you can determine:
