addItem

public int addItem(Object item,
                   int subType,
                   int index,
                   boolean beginGroup,
                   int groupSpacing,
                   int style)
            throws IOException,
                   AutomationException
Adds an item to the ToolbarControl.

Description

Takes the specified command and creates a new item that is added to the ToolbarControl with its Command or Menu or Palette set, and returns the index of the first item added. Specifiy the command, menu or palette as either a IUid, ProgID, ICommand, IMenuDef, IToolbarMenu, IPaletteDef or IToolbarPalette. AddItem supports the following objects: ICommand, IMenuDef, IToolbarMenu, ICommandSubType, ITool, IToolControl, IPaletteDef and IToolbarPalette . Visually items are represented on the ToolbarControl as buttons, tools, menus, text boxes and combo boxes.

Supply a subType when passing an ICommandSubType. If no subType is supplied and the command is passed as a IUid or ProgID then ICommandSubType::GetCount determines the number of Item's to be added to the ToolbarControl. A subType must be supplied when passing an ICommandSubType as an ICommand, or the method will fail. By default subType is 0.

Index determines the position on the ToolbarControl that the item will be added to. By default this is -1 and represents the end of the ToolbarControl.

beginGroup determines whether a separator will appear before the item. By default beginGroup is False.

GroupSpacing determines the width in pixels of the separator.

Style determines the sytle of the item. By default Style is set to esriCommandStyleIconOnly.

Remarks

AddItem checks to see if the supplied command already exists in the CommandPool used by the ToolbarControl. If the command does not already exist, it is created and added to the CommandPool with a ICommandPool::UsageCount of 1, and is set as the IToolbarItem::Command. If the command already exists in the CommandPool, then the command instance is reused, its ICommandPool::UsageCount is incremented by 1 and the command is set as the IToolbarItem::Command. The ICommand::OnCreate method will be called the first time a command is added to the CommandPool.

Where possible always supply commands, menus and palettes as either Uid objects or ProgID's. Only supply commands as ICommand, IMenuDef or IPaletteDef objects when a IUid or ProgID does not exist, and the class is compiled as part of the same project using the ToolbarControl. Passing a command menu or palette as an ICommand, IMenuDef or IPaletteDef object has the following limitation: Multiple instances of the same command can be added to the CommandPool, and each IToolbarItem::Command will point to a different command object. For example, setting a command implementing the ITool interface to be the CurrentTool would result in only one item appearing visually pressed on the on the ToolbarControl.

            throws IOException,
                   AutomationException
Updates the enabled state of the specified item or all items if an index of -1 is specified. Specify fullUpdate to update the group, group spacing, style and bitmap properties.

Description

The primary job of the Update method is to ensure that each item on the ToolbarControl is synchronised with the ICommand properties of the IToolbarItem::Command.

By default the index argument is -1, and each item on the ToolbarControl is updated. To update a specific item, specifiy its index. The item at the beginning of the collection to the left of the ToolbarControl has an index of 0.

By default the fullUpdate argument is false, and each item is updated to reflect its ICommand::Enabled, ICommand::Caption and ICommand::Checked properties. Pass true to Update to additionally update the following properties: ICommand::Bitmap, IToolbarItem::Style, IToolbarItem::Group and IToolbarItem::GroupSpacing properties.

By default the Update method is called automatically on a regular interval specified by the UpdateInterval to ensure that the ToolbarControl item's reflect the current application state. This updates all items, but with a fullUpdate argument set to false.

Remarks

The Update method checks each commands ICommandPool::Created property. If the command has not been created the ICommandPoolEdit::Hook property is passed into the ICommand::OnCreate method. The hook it typically the ToolbarControl.

Product Availability

Available with ArcGIS Engine.

Specified by:
update in interface IToolbarControl
Parameters:
index - The index (in, optional, pass -1 if not required)
fullUpdate - The fullUpdate (in, optional, pass false if not required)
Throws:
IOException - If there are interop problems.
AutomationException - If the ArcObject component throws an exception.

getBuddy

public Object getBuddy()
                throws IOException,
                       AutomationException
The object that will have its current tool managed by the toolbar.

Description

The Buddy returns the object implementing IToolbarBuddy that was passed to the SetBuddyControl method. The Buddy is responsible for handling the CurrentTool.

The SetBuddyControl method will remove any wrapper object that a development environment has added to the control passed to it. As such, the object passed into the SetBuddyControl method may be different from the object returned by the Buddy.

Remarks

When an application is first started the Buddy may return Nothing until the first Update has happened. By default the Update method will be first called internally after an UpdateInterval (the default is 500 milliseconds). To avoid this delay call Update within the form load event.

Product Availability

Available with ArcGIS Engine.

Specified by:
getBuddy in interface IToolbarControl
Returns:
A reference to another Automation Object (IDispatch)
Throws:
IOException - If there are interop problems.
AutomationException - If the ArcObject component throws an exception.

getCurrentTool

public ITool getCurrentTool()
                     throws IOException,
                            AutomationException
The current tool of the buddy.

Description

This is a shortcut to the CurrentTool of the Buddy. The Buddy implements the IToolbarBuddy interface that has a CurrentTool property. If no Buddy is set the CurrentTool returns Nothing.

On a ToolbarControl there is only ever one CurrentTool, and this is the item that appears 'pushed in'. If another tool is selected it becomes the new CurrentTool and the previous tool is deactivated.

If multiple ToolbarControls share the same CommandPool and have the same Buddy the CurrentTool is synchronised through the Buddy so only one item on all the ToolbarControl's will be the CurrentTool.

Remarks

Always check that the Buddy has been set, before setting the CurrentTool or the method will fail.

When the CurrentTool is set the following events occur:

  1. The ITool::Deactivate event is triggered on the 'old' CurrentTool if one was set. If this event returns false a trappable error ocurrs. If this event returns true the 'old' CurrentTool is removed and replaced.
  2. The ICommand::OnClick event is triggered on the 'new' CurrentTool and its cursor is picked up.

Within an ITool implementation it is recommended that the ITool::Deactivate event returns true. This allows a 'new' CurrentTool to be set, and allows the release of the CurrentTool when an application is shutting down.

                  throws IOException,
                         AutomationException
Appends the contents of the toolbar definition, specified by Guid or ToolbarDef, to the toolbar control.

Description

Takes the specified toolbar definition and for each command specified an item is created and added to the ToolbarControl with an associated IToolbarItem::Command set. Specifiy the toolbar definition as either a IUid, ProgID, or IToolBarDef .

startIndex determines the position on the ToolbarControl each item will be added to. By default this is -1 and represents the end of the ToolbarControl.

Group determines whether separators will appear before the first and after the last item defined by the IToolBarDef . By default Group is False. Note this will override any IItemDef::Group property set in the IToolBarDef.

GroupSpacing determines the width of any separators, and applies to all item's defined by the IToolBarDef .

Style applies to all item's defined by the IToolBarDef. By default Style is set to esriCommandStyleIconOnly.

Where possible always supply toolbars as either Uid objects or ProgID's. Only supply toolbars as IToolBarDef objects when a IUid or ProgID does not exist, and the class is compiled as part of the same project using the ToolbarControl.

Remarks

For each command specified by the IToolBarDef, AddToolbarDef calls the AddItem method which checks to see if the supplied command already exists in the CommandPool. If the command does not already exist, it is added to the CommandPool with a ICommandPool::UsageCount of 1, and is set as the IToolbarItem::Command. If the command does already exist in the CommandPool its ICommandPool::UsageCount increments by 1 and the command is set as the IToolbarItem::Command. The ICommand::OnCreate method will only be called the first time a command is added to the CommandPool.

                                         AutomationException
The operation stack used for undo and redo functionality. If present commands can use it to store operations.

Description

The OperationStack used to manage undo and redo functionality. Operations are added to the operation stack by each item's Command, so that the operation can be rolled forward and then rolled back as desired. For example, when a graphic element is moved, the operation can be undone moving the graphic back to its original location.

By default the OperationStack will return Nothing. Typically, a developer creates a ControlsOperationStack and sets it into the ToolbarControl. 'Undo' and 'Redo' commands can be added to the ToolbarControl to step through the OperationStack.

Whether or not a command makes use of an OperationStack depends upon its implementation. For example, a command to nudge the position of a graphic element will create an object implementing IOperation and add it to the OperationStack using IOperationStack::Do.

Note, that commands that change the IActiveView::Extent do not need to implement an IOperation object, as the extent is automatically stored in the IActiveView::ExtentStack.

Adds a menu item to the ToolbarControl.

Description

Takes the specified menu and creates a new item that is added to the ToolbarControl and returns the index of the menu item added. This is really a shortcut to AddItem.

Specifiy the menu as either a IUID , ProgID, IMenuDef or IToolbarMenu.

If AddIMenuItem is passed an IMenuDef, the menu definition is is used to build a new ToolbarMenu, and the IToolbarMenu::CommandPool is set to the IToolbarControl::CommandPool. If AddMenuItem is passed an IToolbarMenu a new ToolbarItem is created and the IToolbarItem::Menu is set to the IToolbarMenu.

index determines the position on the ToolbarControl that the Item will be added to. By default this is -1 and represents the end of the ToolbarControl.

beginGroup determines whether a separator will appear before the Item. By default beginGroup is False.

GroupSpacing determines the width in pixels of the separator.

Remarks

AddItem checks to see if each command in the menu already exists in the CommandPool used by the ToolbarControl. If the command does not already exist, it is created and added to the CommandPool with a ICommandPool::UsageCount of 1. If the command already exists in the CommandPool its ICommandPool::UsageCount is incremented by 1. The ICommand::OnCreate method will be called the first time a command is added to the CommandPool.
