Hello,

Is it possible to start a model (generated from model builder) directly from an ArcMap-Toolbar? I don't want to start the toolbox just for one frequently used tool.
I have 9.3 edition

thanks 🙂

The capability of adding your own toolbar and tools (models, scripts, or system tools) is in ArcGIS 10, but not in 9.3. What you can do is to create your own toolbox and add any of the above tools to it. This video shows how:

Hope that helps.

Hi,
I have wrote this code, but an error appears (see image):

Option Explicit
Private Sub UIButtonControl1_Click()
Public Sub Test()



  Dim pGP As Object

  Set pGP = CreateObject("esriGeoprocessing.GPDispatch.1")



On Error GoTo EH

pGP.AddToolbox ("D:\DRASTIC_MODEL.tbx")



  pGP.MyModel



  Exit Sub

EH:

  MsgBox pGP.GetMessages(), vbOKOnly, "Test"

End Sub


End Sub

You need to have two Sub or all the code in the Click event. Try this:

First, the Click event method:
Private Sub UIButtonControl1_Click()
    ' Call the Test method
    Test()
End Sub



The second method (Test) is the worker method:
Public Sub Test()
    ' Put all code here
    Dim pGP as Object
    ......
    .....
    EH:
    MsgBox pGP.GetMessages(), ......
End Sub



Let us know how it goes.

Hi,

Well, I'm not sure that I did it right..

In the first method, I did not get it (how could I call test() method?)... see image "FirstMethod"
In second method, EH error appeared ... see image"Secondmethod"

I know that I'm  beginner in VB codes... but I have to learn
 
Thanks in advance

Your whole code should like this:


Option Explicit

Private Sub UIButtonControl1_Click()
    ' Call the Test method
    Test()
End Sub

Public Sub Test()
    Dim pGP as Object
    Set pGP = CreateObject("esriGeoprocessing.GPDispatch.1")

    On Error GoTo EH
    pGP.AddToolbox ("D:\DRASTIC_MODEL.tbx")
    pGP.MyModel
    MsgBox pGP.GetMessages(), vbOkOnly, "Success"
    Exit Sub

EH:
    MsgBox pGP.GetMessages(), vbOkOnly, "Error"

End Sub


Let us know what message do you get?

I don't have a VBA compiler right now. If you google with 'how to call a VB sub' you'll get plenty of examples. I guess the call to Test sub should be:

Private Sub UIButtonControl1_Click()
    Test
End Sub
Without the braces '(' and ')'.

yes that's right, now both solutions (method 1 and 2) give the same result
