I'm brand new to ArcObjects SDKs and am struggling. I have a Python Add-in performing a query to select records (works great)and now trying to call the identify dialog via an .NET addin button that displays the identify dialog box to show attributes of the selected records. Below is the code I have at this point. I currently have the identify dialog displaying, but no records appearing. I know I need to input the selected records somewhere....but not sure where. Any thoughts would be appreciated. (I'm using Visual Studio/Microsoft Visual Basic 2010 and ArcGIS 10.2.1)
Imports ESRI.ArcGIS.ArcMapUI
Imports ESRI.ArcGIS.Carto
Public Class Identify_Button
Inherits ESRI.ArcGIS.Desktop.AddIns.Button
Dim pMxDoc As IMxDocument
Dim activeView As IMap
Public Sub DoIdentify(ByVal activeView As ESRI.ArcGIS.Carto.IActiveView, ByVal x As System.Int32, ByVal y As System.Int32)
pMxDoc = My.ArcMap.Application.Document
activeView = pMxDoc.FocusMap
If activeView Is Nothing Then
Return
End If
Dim map As ESRI.ArcGIS.Carto.IMap = activeView.FocusMap
Dim identifyDialog As ESRI.ArcGIS.CartoUI.IIdentifyDialog = New ESRI.ArcGIS.CartoUI.IdentifyDialogClass
identifyDialog.Map = map
'Clear the dialog on each mouse click
identifyDialog.ClearLayers()
Dim screenDisplay As ESRI.ArcGIS.Display.IScreenDisplay = activeView.ScreenDisplay
Dim display As ESRI.ArcGIS.Display.IDisplay = screenDisplay ' Implicit Cast
identifyDialog.Display = display
Dim identifyDialogProps As ESRI.ArcGIS.CartoUI.IIdentifyDialogProps = CType(identifyDialog, ESRI.ArcGIS.CartoUI.IIdentifyDialogProps) ' Explicit Cast
Dim enumLayer As ESRI.ArcGIS.Carto.IEnumLayer = identifyDialogProps.Layers
enumLayer.Reset()
Dim layer As ESRI.ArcGIS.Carto.ILayer = enumLayer.Next
Do While Not (layer Is Nothing)
identifyDialog.AddLayerIdentifyPoint(layer, x, y)
layer = enumLayer.Next()

identifyDialog.Show()
End Sub

End Sub

DoIdentify(activeView, 300, 100)
End Sub

End Sub
End Class
Give the code below a try. This is executed from the OnClick event from an ArcMap command button that Inherits from BaseCommand. It displays the selected features in the map in the identifyDialog just as you were needing it to except I used AddLayerIdentifyOID() instead of AddLayerIdentifyPoint() although both should work.

I have both AutoCAD and AutoCAD Architecture installed on my system. AutoCAD Architecture has a tab called Vision Tools with a nifty command called Display By Layer to set the display order of objects in accordance with the layers of the drawing. Is there anyway to add this tab or use this command in AutoCAD?
Not sure if you're looking for a built-in feature or APIs for it.
For a built in feature, check the DRAWORDER command. For an API/programming approach, check the respective DrawOrderTable method. See below:
Update: please also check this 3rd party tool: DoByLayer.
[CommandMethod("SendToBottom")]
public void commandDrawOrderChange()
{
Document activeDoc
= Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument;
Database db = activeDoc.Database;
Editor ed = activeDoc.Editor;
PromptEntityOptions peo
= new PromptEntityOptions("Select an entity : ");
PromptEntityResult per = ed.GetEntity(peo);
if (per.Status != PromptStatus.OK)
{
return;
}
ObjectId oid = per.ObjectId;
SortedList<long, ObjectId> drawOrder
= new SortedList<long, ObjectId>();
using (Transaction tr = db.TransactionManager.StartTransaction())
{
BlockTable bt = tr.GetObject(
db.BlockTableId,
OpenMode.ForRead
) as BlockTable;
BlockTableRecord btrModelSpace =
tr.GetObject(
bt[BlockTableRecord.ModelSpace],
OpenMode.ForRead
) as BlockTableRecord;
DrawOrderTable dot =
tr.GetObject(
btrModelSpace.DrawOrderTableId,
OpenMode.ForWrite
) as DrawOrderTable;
ObjectIdCollection objToMove = new ObjectIdCollection();
objToMove.Add(oid);
dot.MoveToBottom(objToMove);
tr.Commit();
}
ed.WriteMessage("Done");
}
With some help from VBA it might look by this. Note i did not add fancy listbox code. I just show the worker and how to list layers. The trivial Code to add things to a listbox on a form and how to sort / rearrange listbox items can be found on any excel / VBA forum on the web . Or you just uses a predefined string like in the example. To get VBA to work download and install the acc. VBA Enabler from autocad. It is free.

I have developed a custom MsgBox that works fine in almost every way. The only problem is that when the MsgBox closes the parent form runs the Form_Activate code. A normal MsgBox does not run that code (again).
I know i could add a boolean variable to Form_Activate to check if it has fired already, but that's not the best solution when you have a dozen forms.
So, is there a way to not run Form_Activate after closing my custom MsgBox? Does the MsgBox form need to be of some special type or something? I tried all BorderStyles but that doesn't make any difference.
Are you using another form to make custom MsgBox?
You shouldn't use directly other form to show a custom messagebox.
You should create an Activex control, and Activate event won't fire again when the MsgBox is closed.
Within the control you can use a form if you want it. (Probably just have to place your code inside an ActiveX control project and use it in your forms)
I use it that way.
This is a custom MsgBox example using Activex Control, with a test form too.
http://www.codeguru.com/code/legacy/vb_othctrl/2166_CustomMsgBox.zip
I created a Class for a Custom MsgBox.

I am creating a excel sheet that would autocomplete a text based on the text present in a particular column. After trying to make one myself unsuccessfully, I was looking online for sample codes that I could modify and incorporate in my program. (and not plagiarize)
I downloaded Workbook1.xls from http://www.ozgrid.com/forum/showthread.php?t=144438
The code is
Option Explicit
Dim ufEventsDisabled As Boolean
Dim autoCompleteEnabled As Boolean
Dim oRange As Range
Private Sub TextBox1_Change()
If ufEventsDisabled Then Exit Sub
If autoCompleteEnabled Then Call myAutoComplete(TextBox1)
End Sub
Sub myAutoComplete(aTextBox As MSForms.TextBox)
Dim RestOfCompletion As String
On Error GoTo Halt
With aTextBox
If .SelStart + .SelLength = Len(.Text) Then
RestOfCompletion = Mid(oRange.Cells(1, 1).AutoComplete(.Text), Len(.Text) + 1)
ufEventsDisabled = True
.Text = .Text & RestOfCompletion
.SelStart = Len(.Text) - Len(RestOfCompletion)
.SelLength = Len(RestOfCompletion)
End If
End With
Halt:
ufEventsDisabled = False
On Error GoTo 0
End Sub
Private Sub TextBox1_AfterUpdate()
Dim strCompleted As String
With TextBox1
strCompleted = oRange.AutoComplete(.Text)
If LCase(strCompleted) = LCase(.Text) Then
ufEventsDisabled = True
.Text = strCompleted
ufEventsDisabled = False
End If
End With
End Sub
Private Sub TextBox1_Enter()
Set oRange = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1").Range("f4")
End Sub
Private Sub TextBox1_KeyDown(ByVal KeyCode As MSForms.ReturnInteger, ByVal Shift As Integer)
autoCompleteEnabled = KeyCode <> vbKeyBack
autoCompleteEnabled = ((vbKey0 <= KeyCode) And (KeyCode <= vbKeyZ))
End Sub
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Unload Me
End Sub
Private Sub UserForm_Click()
End Sub
If you'd notice the line RestOfCompletion = Mid(oRange.Cells(1, 1).AutoComplete(.Text), Len(.Text) + 1), I was wondering what AutoComplete is doing here. Its not a in built function and is not defined anywhere. Still the code runs fine. I am very curious.
Thanks
The .AutoComplete is a function of the Range object - it is based on passing the text to a range that exists elsewhere on the sheet.
You can see the documentation on this function here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb209667(v=office.12).aspx
The myAutoComplete function handles the finding of the autocomplete data against the range if it exists, and the other pieces in the code are for highlighting the correct piece of text.

what are the basic thing i cannot do in a windows service? oh, and i am using the chilkat library too..
why can't i use all of my code in OnStart? i did so and the services stops just as it starts.
can i use something else except a timer and put an endless loop?
Running as a windows service typically won't let you see any popup boxes, etc since there's no UI (Unless you check the box to allow interaction with the desktop).
Try adding a Timer1.Start in your OnStart method. Then in your Timer1_Tick method, first thing stop the timer, then at the end start it back up, this way your Tick method won't fire while you're already doing work.
I realize I'm (very) late to this party, but what kind of timer are you using? A System.Windows.Forms.Timer is designed for use in a single threaded Windows Form and will not work in a Windows Service app. Try a System.Timers.Timer instead.
I would like to add a Control and an associated event at runtime in Excel using VBA but I don't know how to add the events.
I tried the code below and the Button is correctly created in my userform but the associated click event that should display the hello message is not working.
Any advice/correction would be welcome.
Dim Butn As CommandButton
Set Butn = UserForm1.Controls.Add("Forms.CommandButton.1")
With Butn
.Name = "CommandButton1"
.Caption = "Click me to get the Hello Message"
.Width = 100
.Top = 10
End With
With ThisWorkbook.VBProject.VBComponents("UserForm1.CommandButton1").CodeModule
Line = .CountOfLines
.InsertLines Line + 1, "Sub CommandButton1_Click()"
.InsertLines Line + 2, "MsgBox ""Hello!"""
.InsertLines Line + 3, "End Sub"
End With
UserForm1.Show
The code for adding a button at runtime and then to add events is truly as simple as it is difficult to find out. I can say that because I have spent more time on this perplexity and got irritated more than in anything else I ever programmed.
Create a Userform and put in the following code:
Option Explicit
Dim ButArray() As New Class2
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
Dim ctlbut As MSForms.CommandButton
Dim butTop As Long, i As Long
'~~> Decide on the .Top for the 1st TextBox
butTop = 30
For i = 1 To 10
Set ctlbut = Me.Controls.Add("Forms.CommandButton.1", "butTest" & i)
'~~> Define the TextBox .Top and the .Left property here
ctlbut.Top = butTop: ctlbut.Left = 50
ctlbut.Caption = Cells(i, 7).Value
'~~> Increment the .Top for the next TextBox
butTop = butTop + 20
ReDim Preserve ButArray(1 To i)
Set ButArray(i).butEvents = ctlbut
Next
End Sub
Now you need to add a Class Module to your code for the project. Please remember it's class module, not Standard Module.
The Object butEvents is the button that was clicked.
Put in the following simple code (in my case the class name is Class2).
Public WithEvents butEvents As MSForms.CommandButton
Private Sub butEvents_click()
MsgBox "Hi Shrey from " & butEvents.Caption
End Sub
That's it. Now run it!
Try this:
Sub AddButtonAndShow()
Dim Butn As CommandButton
Dim Line As Long
Dim objForm As Object
Set objForm = ThisWorkbook.VBProject.VBComponents("UserForm1")
Set Butn = objForm.Designer.Controls.Add("Forms.CommandButton.1")
With Butn
.Name = "CommandButton1"
.Caption = "Click me to get the Hello Message"
.Width = 100
.Top = 10
End With
With objForm.CodeModule
Line = .CountOfLines
.InsertLines Line + 1, "Sub CommandButton1_Click()"
.InsertLines Line + 2, "MsgBox ""Hello!"""
.InsertLines Line + 3, "End Sub"
End With
VBA.UserForms.Add(objForm.Name).Show
End Sub
This permanently modifies UserForm1 (assuming you save your workbook). If you wanted a temporary userform, then add a new userform instead of setting it to UserForm1. You can then delete the form once you're done with it.
Chip Pearson has some great info about coding the VBE.
DaveShaw, thx for this code man!
I have used it for a togglebutton array (put a 'thumbnail-size' picture called trainer.jpg in the same folder as the excel file for a togglebutton with a picture in it). In the 'click' event the invoker is also available (by the object name as a string)
In the form:
Dim CreateTrainerToggleButtonArray() As New ToggleButtonClass
Private Sub CreateTrainerToggleButton(top As Integer, id As Integer)
Dim pathToPicture As String
pathToPicture = ThisWorkbook.Path & "\trainer.jpg"
Dim idString As String
idString = "TrainerToggleButton" & id
Dim cCont As MSForms.ToggleButton
Set cCont = Me.Controls.Add _
("Forms.ToggleButton.1")
With cCont
.Name = idString
.Width = 20
.Height = 20
.Left = 6
.top = top
.picture = LoadPicture(pathToPicture)
End With
ReDim Preserve CreateTrainerToggleButtonArray(1 To id)
Set CreateTrainerToggleButtonArray(id).ToggleButtonEvents = cCont
CreateTrainerToggleButtonArray(id).ObjectName = idString
End Sub
and a class "ToggleButtonClass"
Public WithEvents ToggleButtonEvents As MSForms.ToggleButton
Public ObjectName As String
Private Sub ToggleButtonEvents_click()
MsgBox "DaveShaw is the man... <3 from your friend: " & ObjectName
End Sub
Now just simple call from UserForm_Initialize
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
Dim index As Integer
For index = 1 To 10
Call CreateTrainerToggleButton(100 + (25 * index), index)
Next index
End Sub
This was my solution to add a commandbutton and code without using classes
It adds a reference to allow access to vbide
Adds the button
Then writes a function to handle the click event in the worksheet
Sub AddButton()
Call addref
Set rng = DestSh.Range("B" & x + 3)
'Set btn = DestSh.Buttons.Add(rng.Left, rng.Top, rng.Width, rng.Height)
Set myButton = ActiveSheet.OLEObjects.Add(ClassType:="Forms.CommandButton.1", Left:=rng.Left, Top:=rng.Top, Height:=rng.Height * 3, Width:=rng.Width * 3)
DoEvents
With myButton
'.Placement = XlPlacement.xlFreeFloating
.Object.Caption = "Export"
.Name = "BtnExport"
.Object.PicturePosition = 1
.Object.Font.Size = 14
End With
Stop
myButton.Object.Picture = LoadPicture("F:\Finalised reports\Templates\Macros\evolution48.bmp")
Call CreateButtonEvent
End Sub
Sub addref()

An easy way to do it:
1 - Insert a class module and write this code:
Public WithEvents ChkEvents As MSForms.CommandButton
Private Sub ChkEvents_click()
MsgBox ("Click Event")
End Sub
2 - Insert a userform and write this code:
Dim Chk As New Clase1
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
Dim NewCheck As MSForms.CommandButton
Set NewCheck = Me.Controls.Add("Forms.CommandButton.1")
NewCheck.Caption = "Prueba"
Set Chk.ChkEvents = NewCheck
End Sub
Now show the form and click the button
I think the code needs to be added to the Userform, not to the button itself.
So something like
With UserForm1.CodeModule
'Insert code here
End With
In place of your With ThisWorkbook
