I need a color picker control for a dockpane in my ArcGIS Pro add-in, but I can't seem to find one in the SDK. Is there one somewhere that I am missing? If not, I can look into using a third-party control, but I wanted to confirm whether or not one is available in the SDK first. Thank you, Greg ... View more

Hello, I am writing functionality for my ArcGIS Pro add-in that generates a custom layer on the fly. I am trying to use the memory workspace (https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/help/analysis/geoprocessing/basics/the-in-memory-workspace.htm) to avoid creating a geodatabase on the disk, as the results of my tool are meant to be temporary and I would like them to disappear upon application close.  So far, I've been able to successfully create the feature class and its fields through the Geoprocessing API. However, I'm getting stuck when trying to populate the layer with data. My code appears to work, and upon completion, the attribute table is populated with rows. However, there is no geometry for any of the rows (no features exist in the map at all). Here is how I am populating my layer: string errorMessages = string.Empty; using (FeatureClass layerAsFeatureClass = layer.GetTable() as FeatureClass) { EditOperation op = new EditOperation(); op.Callback(context => { foreach (var feature in features) { using (RowBuffer rowBuffer = layerAsFeatureClass.CreateRowBuffer()) { //Setting a bunch of attributes here... // // if (feature.Geometry == null) { continue; } //Now set the geometry rowBuffer[layerAsFeatureClass.GetDefinition().GetShapeField()] = feature.Geometry.ToEsriShape(); using (Row row = layerAsFeatureClass.CreateRow(rowBuffer)) { context.Invalidate(row); } } } }, layerAsFeatureClass); try { if (!op.Execute()) { errorMessages = op.ErrorMessage; } } catch (GeodatabaseException gEx) { errorMessages = gEx.Message; } catch (Exception ex) { errorMessages = ex.Message; } }‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ "feature.Geometry" is a MapPoint. I found that setting the geometry without calling ".ToEsriShape()" resulted in errors. Is there another way that I should be setting the geometry for an in-memory feature class? I feel like I am missing something here. Any help would be appreciated. ... View more

Hello, I am currently writing functionality with the ArcGIS Pro SDK part of which will be used to split polygon features. To do the split, I am using an EditOperation and calling the method Split(Layer, ObjectID, Geometry). When attempting this on a polygon layer, I am seeing an exception thrown that says "Only polyline layers can be split". This is interesting, because polygon splits are possible through the ArcGIS Pro editing interface. Does the ArcGIS Pro SDK not support splitting polygon features? Or if it does, is there another way I would be able to do the split with the SDK? Thanks in advance, Greg ... View more

Hi, I am writing an ArcGIS Pro tool that performs a mass update of GIS values for one layer at a time. I followed the Geodatabase API snippet for modifying rows (ProSnippets Geodatabase · Esri/arcgis-pro-sdk Wiki · GitHub ) and it works fine/does exactly what I need it to do. However, the problem I am facing is the update could take a very long time to execute if I am updating thousands of rows at a time. I understand that when a task is running on the MCT, all the UI commands are disabled by default. Ideally, I'd like to keep the UI responsive and usable while the update runs in the background. Is there any way in the SDK to disable only the specific layer that is being processed, rather than everything in the UI (table of contents, ribbon, etc)? I see that using the Field Calculator in ArcGIS Pro works this way, so I am wondering if there's a way to implement similar behavior for my tool. Thanks in advance! Greg ... View more

Is there any way to return a feature from a published service layer using solely the GlobalID? I understand that the GlobalID is universally unique across a workspace, and what I'd like to do is return a feature from an ArcGIS Portal without providing a service or layer in my query to the ArcGIS REST API. From what I can tell, there is no way to query for a feature at the server level in the ArcGIS REST API (it looks like a layer in a service must be provided), but maybe I am missing something. Any insight would be appreciated! ... View more

I have written a Python script tool that publishes map services for my organization. It works great, except that I am trying to publish read-only feature services with the "Sync" capability for offline mobile use. After following examples from Esri/other forums, I set the capabilities in my script by parsing the service definition draft as an xml document, as shown here: # turn on feature access if service is editable if service.endswith("Editable") or service.endswith("Redlining") or allowSync:   featAccessSettings = doc.getElementsByTagName("TypeName")    for featAccessSetting in featAccessSettings:    if featAccessSetting.firstChild.data == "FeatureServer":   featAccessSetting.parentNode.getElementsByTagName("Enabled")[0].firstChild.data = "true"    configProps = doc.getElementsByTagName("Info")[0]   propArray = configProps.firstChild   propSets = propArray.childNodes    for propSet in propSets:   keyValues = propSet.childNodes    for keyValue in keyValues:    if keyValue.tagName == "Key":    if keyValue.firstChild.data == "WebCapabilities":    if (service.endswith("Editable")) or (service.endswith("Redlining")):   keyValue.nextSibling.firstChild.data == "Query,Create,Update,Delete,Uploads,Editing"    else:   keyValue.nextSibling.firstChild.data == "Query,Sync" On the last line, to create a read-only feature service (according to this guide: Prepare data for offline use—Documentation | ArcGIS for Server ), I set the web capabilities to only Query and Sync, but when the tool completes running, the publish service still has full editing capabilities and Sync disabled. If I try to publish the service with the user interface inside ArcMap or ArcCatalog, the web capability settings come across correctly. Is there another parameter that needs to be set programmatically, that I am missing here? I know the data has to be configured correctly to use Sync, but again, the data I've been testing with works fine when published though the UI. Thanks! Greg ... View more
