Tool Description
esriARGlobeToolNoneSelected Use this tool if you want nothing to happen when the user interacts with the ARGlobe.
esriARGlobeToolNavigate Use this tool to navigate the ARGlobe. Activating the tool will set ARGlobe::Pitch = 0. Using the left mouse button the tool allows the user to rotate the globe about its center. Using the right mouse button the tool allows the user to zoom in and out along an imaginary straight line from the observer location to the ARGlobe center.
esriARGlobeToolTarget Use this tool to center a location, on the ARGlobe surface, in the view.
esriARGlobeToolZoomInOut Use this tool to Zoom In and Zoom Out along an imaginary straight line between the observer location and the target on the ARGlobe surface.
esriARGlobeToolPan Use this tool to pan the ARGlobe surface. Depress the mouse and drag the view in a particular direction, before releasing the mouse, to pan.
esriARGlobeToolPivot Use this tool to view the point on the ARGlobe surface that is centered in the view. Using the left mouse button the tool allows the user to pivot about a point on the ARGlobe surface that is located at the center of the view. Using the right mouse button the tool allows the user to Zoom In and Zoom Out along an imaginary straight line between the observer location and the center of the view. Activating this tool will set the ARGlobe::Pitch to a none zero value.
esriARGlobeToolIdentify, esriARGlobeToolIdentifyUsingLayer Use these tools to identify features in the ARGlobe. Click on a single feature to view its attribute information. The window has its own context menus; incorporates a raster viewer; and can display hyperlinks.
esriARGlobeToolMeasure Use this tool to measure distances on the ARGlobe. Measurements are given in IARGlobe::GlobeUnits.
esriARGlobeToolSwipe Use this tool to view the layer beneath the ArcReaderGlobeControl::SwipeLayer.
esriARGlobeToolHyperlink Use this tool to access any hyperlinks present in the data.
esriARGlobeToolOrbitalFly
Use this tool to fly over the ARGlobe surface at a fixed elevation. Activating this tool will display a dialog with buttons that allow a user to control flight. The dialog will be displayed within the ArcReaderGlobeControl, as specified by the window position property, accessed via the ArcReaderGlobeControl property pages.

                                           AutomationException
The ARConfiguration used by the control.

Description

This is the ARConfiguration object contained within the ArcReaderGlobeControl. It is a helper object for customising the appearance and behaviour of the ArcReaderGlobeControl. It consists of many property and value settings that are stored in a template file (.art), known as an ‘ArcReader Template’.

There are various ways to manage these property and value settings:

In order for the ArcReaderGlobeControl to update itself to match any updated settings the ARConfiguration object must be set back into the ArcReaderGlobeControl.

The ArcReaderGlobeControl will initially look for an template file in a users local profile. If no template file is found a default configuration file will be created containing default settings. The contents of the ARConfiguration can be stored in a template file in the current user profile and used as an initialization or "INI" file. The ArcReader desktop application does this using a
file called ArcReader.art. It is recommended not to reuse this file as it may break the ArcReader desktop application. Instead, use a location such as:

User profile\Application Data\CompanyName\ProductName\Templates\FileName.art

Once a template has been saved it can be loaded into the ArcReaderGlobeControl to suit a particular user or application. For example, a user may have a preference about the window position of the magnifier window and whether the table of contents is displayed. When the ArcReaderGlobeControl exits (typically when the form or container is closed) the value of these settings is updated back into the ARConfiguration. Additional custom settings can be added to the ARConfiguration, to store user preferences specific to the custom application.

Returns:
A reference to a com.esri.arcgis.controls.IARConfiguration
Throws:
IOException - If there are interop problems.
AutomationException - If the ArcObject component throws an exception.

The ShowARGlobeWindow shows or hides the specified built in window. By default all of the esriARGlobeWindows are closed. Before using the ShowARGlobeWindow method make one or all of the following checks:

A modal window requires a response from the user, before they can interact with another part of the application. A modeless window will stay on the screen, available for use, but allow the user to interact with other parts of the application. When the LoadDocument or ReloadDocument methods are used, any modeless windows will be automatically closed.

hasDocumentPermission

boolean hasDocumentPermission(int docPermission)

                                     AutomationException
Indicates if the currently loaded Published Map File (*.PMF) was published with the specified permission.

Description

The HasDocumentPermission method determines whether the currently loaded document was published with the specified functionality permission.

When a document is published the publisher can set a variety of permissions to limit the functionality that a user has access to when viewing the document in the ArcReaderGlobeControl. These permissions should be checked and the behavior of an application modified appropriately. For example, if permission to access hyperlinks does not exist an application should be modified so that a user can not set the current tool to the hyperlink tool.

getARUnitConverter

IARUnitConverter getARUnitConverter()
                                    throws IOException,
                                           AutomationException
The ARUnitConverter contained by the control.

Description

The ARUnitConverter object is a helper object for firstly converting values between different esriARUnits and secondly for converting values and esriARUnits constants to strings.

Remarks

Caution should be exercised, when converting units of measurement, that the conversion is sensible. For example, the ARUnitConverter will allow one to convert a distance measured in Kilometers to a distance in Decimal Degrees. However, because the meridians converge towards the poles, a degree of longitude varies in size. One degree of longitude is approximately 111km at the equator but only 79km at a latitude of 45 degrees. The ARUnitConverter has no in-built intelligence to handle such conversions but does allow such conversions to be undertaken. If the ARUnitConverter is used to convert a distance of 1 decimal degree to kilometres, it assumes the distance is a measure of latitude, or a measure of longitude at the equator.

Returns:
A reference to a com.esri.arcgis.controls.IARUnitConverter

getObject

Object getObject()
                 throws IOException,
                        AutomationException
A property that returns the underlying Control.

Description

In some development environments it is not possible to query interface directly on the control to other COM interfaces beacuse the control is contained within a wrapper object. To get the real control use the Object property.

When querying interface to IARGlobeControl in Visual Basic 6.0 the Object property must be used. This is because Visual Basic 6.0 contains the real control inside a wrapper object known as an extender object.
