A singleton object representing the Engine editing environment.

Description

The EngineEditor is a singleton object (only one instance of the EngineEditor object is supported per thread) that manages the editing environment for features stored in the ESRI vector geographic datasets: geodatabases and shapefiles. Use the EngineEditor object to control the editing properties, establish a snapping environment, manage snap agents, create edit operations, create and manage an edit sketch, set the current task, set the target layer and to respond to editor events.

Description

Stops an editing session. Changes can be saved by setting the saveChanges parameter to be True or discarded by setting the parameter to be False.

StopEditing also clears all snap agents and unselects all selected features.

Remarks

This method fires the IEngineEditEvents::OnBeforeStopEditing, IEngineEditEvents::OnStopEditing and IEngineEditEvents::OnTargetLayerChanged events.

Product Availability

Available with ArcGIS Engine.

Specified by:

stopEditing in interface IEngineEditor

Parameters:

saveChanges - The saveChanges (in)

Throws:

IOException - If there are interop problems.

AutomationException - If the ArcObject component throws an exception.

startOperation

public void startOperation()
                    throws IOException,
                           AutomationException

Starts an edit operation.

Description

StartOperation marks the beginning of an edit operation. To provide undo/redo capability programmatically all edits must be performed within an edit operation.

Calling IEngineEditor::StopOperation completes an edit operation which is then added to the top of the operation stack. The operation stack is how ArcGIS Engine implements Undo and Redo. When using StartOperation, proper error handling, including the use of IEgineEditor::AbortOperation, is neccessary.

Edit operations cannot be nested; calling StartOperation within another operation will raise an error.

Remarks

This method fires the IEngineEditEvents::OnStartOperation event.

Product Availability

Available with ArcGIS Engine.

Specified by:

startOperation in interface IEngineEditor

Throws:

IOException - If there are interop problems.

AutomationException - If the ArcObject component throws an exception.

abortOperation

public void abortOperation()
                    throws IOException,
                           AutomationException

Aborts an edit operation.

Description

AbortOperation should be used to terminate the edit operation without saving any changes. Those changes that were made after IEngineEditor::StartOperation was called are undone, and nothing is added to the operation stack.

You may wish to test that your edit operation is valid before saving any changes. If the test fails you should call AbortOperation instead of IEngineEditor::StopOperation.

Remarks

This method fires theIEngineEditEvents::OnSelectionChanged and IEngineEditEvents::OnAbort events.

Product Availability

Available with ArcGIS Engine.

Specified by:

abortOperation in interface IEngineEditor

Throws:

IOException - If there are interop problems.

AutomationException - If the ArcObject component throws an exception.

stopOperation

public void stopOperation(String operationName)
                   throws IOException,
                          AutomationException

Stops an edit operation.

Description

StopOperation marks the end of an edit operation. Calling StopOperation creates an edit operation that is added to the top of the operation stack. The operation stack is how ArcGIS Engine implements Undo and Redo.

When using IEngineEditor::StartOperation proper handling of errors, including the use of IEngineEditor::AbortOperation, is neccessary.

The string argument allows the operation to be identified on the operaton stack.

Remarks

This method fires the IEngineEditEvents::OnBeforeStopOperation and IEngineEditEvents::OnStopOperation events.

Product Availability

Available with ArcGIS Engine.

Specified by:

stopOperation in interface IEngineEditor

Parameters:

operationName - The operationName (in)

Throws:

IOException - If there are interop problems.

AutomationException - If the ArcObject component throws an exception.

public void enableUndoRedo(boolean enabled)
                    throws IOException,
                           AutomationException

Indicates if undo/redo capabilities are enabled.

Description

Use EnableUndoRedo to control whether edits to features can be rolled back. When set to True, an edit made programmatically must be performed within an edit operation so that it can be rolled back. When set to False, no individual edit operation can be undone.

Calling IEngineEditor::StopEditing with a False parameter will discard all of the edits made in the edit session.

By default EnableUndoRedo is True. The method can only be called when there is an active edit session and only applies to edit operations; it does not apply to sketch operations.

Product Availability

Available with ArcGIS Engine.

Specified by:

getGeometry

public IGeometry getGeometry()
                      throws IOException,
                             AutomationException

Geometry stored in the edit sketch.

Description

This property sets the geometry that the EngineEditor works with and ultimately passes it to the current task. By default, the EngineEditor creates a new empty geometry any time an edit session is started, the target layer is changed, the GeometryType is reset, or a task is completed. There is generally no need, therefore, to set the Geometry property when you are building new geometries.

Do set the Geometry property, however, when you want to bring an existing feature into the edit sketch.

Valid esriGeometryType constants used by IEngineEditSketch are: esriGeometryPoint, esriGeometryMultipoint, esriGeometryPolyline, esriGeometryPolygon and esriGeometryNull.

A point that can be used by any custom editing commands. This property is set by the SetEditLocation method.

Description

This property stores the Point location specified by the IEngineEditSketch::SetEditLocation method. Once a point has been stored in this property it remains there until the EngineEditSketch::SetEditLocation method is called again.

For example, the OnMouseUp event could call IEngineEditSketch::SetEditLocation to store the point at which the user had clicked on the MapControl into the EditLocation property. This property could then be used by an 'Insert Vertex' command to add a new vertex to a sketch.

snapPoint

public boolean snapPoint(IPoint point)

Attempts to snap the point using the current snap environment.

Description

SnapPoint passes the required point parameter to each of the added snap agents in the order that these agents were added. The agents attempt, in turn, to find point coordinates that fulfill its snap properties for the incoming point. If a new snap location is found, the relevant snap agent modifies the original point's coordinates to that of the new location. The same point is then returned to SnapPoint. Once a snap agent is found that satisfies the point subsequent snap agents are not tested.

As an example: there may be several feature snap agents present. Each receives a point from the current cursor location, which is passed to the agent via the SnapPoint method. If the conditions for a snap are met, the boolean value of the agent returns TRUE, the point's coordinates are updated based on the active feature snap conditions and the same point is returned to SnapPoint.

Sets the EngineEditor's target layer and subtype for new features.

Description

Use this method to set the EngineEditor's target layer. The target layer is the layer that new features are typically written to by commands or edit tasks. For example, the "Create New Feature" task creates new features and stores them in the target layer.
