Change addin custom pane icon

[sbayarri_gilytics]

Hi! I'm creating an ArcGIS Pro 2.9 addin with some custom panes. 

Since the number of visible panes may multiply, I was wondering how to change the default "green button" icon visible in the pane captions, so different types can be easily seen apart.

I tried finding largeImage/smallImage properties in the UserControl XAML for my panes but they don't seem to exist. I also tried setting the LargeImage and SmallImage properties in the custom ViewModel constructors:

// First option: no image is visible

LargeImage = "pack://application:,,,/ArcGIS.Desktop.Resources;component/Images/GenericButtonRed32.png";

// Second option: some kind of exception, the pane doesn't appear

LargeImage = new BitmapImage(new Uri("pack://application:,,,/Module1;component/Images/GenericButtonRed32", UriKind.Absolute));

Any help appreciated,

Hi,

Pane in daml has property smallimage:

      <panes>
        <pane id="My_Pane" caption="My Pane" className="MyPaneViewModel" smallImage="Images\pane16.png" defaultTab="xxx" defaultTool="esri_mapping_navigateTool">
          <content className="MyPaneView" />
        </pane>
      </panes>

Image\pane16.png must be set to AddInContent.

Is it possible to set image on fly I don't know.

Hi, Gintautas. Thanks for your answer. However, my pane (generated with the ArcGIS Pro Visual Studio helper) is defined in its own .xaml file, which has this structure:

<UserControl x:Class="myAddin.MapProjectPaneView" ...>
    <UserControl.Resources>
     ...
    </UserControl.Resources>
    <Grid>
      My controls go here
    </Grid>
</UserControl>

Not sure if this is compatible with the <Panes> content you describe for config.daml.

Thanks!

Hi,

I have copied code from my addin. It works as in your attached picture. 

P.s.

You can check ArcGIS Community Sample :

Thanks, Gintautas!  It is clear now. Even if the custom pane has its own .xaml, its icon can be defined by adding a Pane entry in the config.daml with the corresponding ID and class name. It works as expected.

Note: Salvador, the file Gintautas is referring to is the Config.daml and not the user control .xaml (which contains the WPF definition)
