Hi,

Is it possible with ArcGIS Pro to add a custom Icon in the task bar that will open a text box input?

On my Desktop there is a folder named "Test" with 100 notepads in it. Each notepad name is a number (1 to 100 ).

In each notepad there is a word.

I would like to test something. Is it possible to make a custom Icon in the task bar of ArcGIS Pro that will pop up a input box and i could type a number from 1 to 100 and the word in the notepad named that number from the folder "Test" would be show on screen.

Thx alot for your help

Hi,

since you can add any tool you want to your tool gallery, this is possible and just a question where the code comes from. Here a VERY SIMPLE Toolbox that uses a python script (and an xml-configuration file) ... Extract the ZIP to any place you like - then all you have to do in Pro is:

  • Navigate to the tool in Catalog
  • Right-click it
  • And either add it to your Tool gallery or Favorites

Give it a try ... YES I know - it is a full-blown GP solution for it. To just have a text-input-box in the GUI you'd have to use the ArcGIS Pro API.
