implements com.esri.arcgis.interop.RemoteObjRef, ITOCControlDefault, ITOCControl, ITOCControl2, IConnectionPointContainer, IPersistStreamInit, IPersist, ISupportErrorInfo

Esri TOCControl

Description

The TOCControl displays a 'Table of Contents' view of maps, layers and layer symbology available from the IActiveView and IBasicMap interfaces. The TOCControl works in conjunction with a 'buddy' control or an object implementing IActiveView. A MapControl, PageLayoutControl, SceneControl or GlobeControl can be a 'buddy'. The TOCControl obtains access to the 'buddy' through the ITOCBuddy interface. The TOCControl manages layer visibility and label editing.

Remarks

There is no need to declare the TOCControl's outbound interface as described below in most development environments, because the interface is automaticlly implemented.

Sets a control to be a buddy of the toolbar, this control must support ITOCBuddy.

Description

Pass the SetBuddyControl method a MapControl, PageLayoutControl, SceneControl, GlobeControl or object implementing ITOCBuddy whose ActiveView is passed to the TOCControl to enable it to populate itself with maps, layers and symbols. By default no buddy is set. To clear the Buddy set the property to Nothing.

Specified by:

setBuddyControl in interface ITOCControl

Specified by:

setBuddyControl in interface ITOCControlDefault

Parameters:

pTOCBuddy - A reference to another Automation Object (IDispatch) (in)

Throws:

IOException - If there are interop problems.

AutomationException - If the ArcObject component throws an exception.

getObject

public Object getObject()
                 throws IOException,
                        AutomationException

A property that returns the underlying control. This can be used when the control is inside a wrapper object that has been added by a development environment.

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.

Product Availability

Available with ArcGIS Engine.

Specified by:

getObject in interface ITOCControl

Specified by:

getObject in interface ITOCControlDefault

Returns:

A reference to another Automation Object (IDispatch)

Throws:

IOException - If there are interop problems.

AutomationException - If the ArcObject component throws an exception.

getKeyIntercept

public int getKeyIntercept()
                    throws IOException,
                           AutomationException

A property that specifies interception of key strokes that are normally handled by the container. When intercepted the OnKeyDown and OnKeyUp events will be called. This value can be a combined bit mask of esriKeyIntercept enum values.

Description

Returns or sets keys on the keyboard that will be intercepted by the TOCControl, triggering the OnKeyDown and OnKeyUp events when pressed. These keys are often hidden from the TOCControl by the development environment container. By default the KeyIntercept is set to esriKeyInterceptNone.

Many development environment containers use the up, down, left and right arrow keys to change control focus on a form. These keys can also be useful for navigating around the display. To intercept the arrow keys and the Tab key combine the enum values using a logical OR operation (esriKeyInterceptArrowKeys OR esriKeyInterceptTabKey, which is 1 OR 4 = 5).

isEnableLayerDragDrop

public boolean isEnableLayerDragDrop()
                              throws IOException,
                                     AutomationException

Indicates if layers can be dragged and dropped in the control.

Description

Determines whether layers can be dragged and dropped in the TOCControl. This property if false by default. When EnableLayerDragDrap is true, layers can be dragged and dropped as follows:

• within a map
• within, to and from a group layer
• between maps
• between maps in different TOCControl's
• between maps in different TOCControl's in different application
• between ArcMap and ArcCatalog and a TOCControl

By default when dragging and dropping a layer within a map, the layer will be moved within the map to the drop location. To copy the layer, rather than move it press the CTRL key while dragging and dropping.

By default when dragging and dropping a layer between maps, a copy of the layer will be added into the map the layer is dropped into. To move the dragged layer, rather than copy it press the CTRL key while dragging and dropping.

Remarks

Layers can not be dragged and dropped in the following cases:

• When the Buddy of a TOCControl does not suppport a layer type. For example, a TIN layer cannot be dropped into a TOCControl buddied to a GlobeControl, because a GlobeControl does not support TIN layers.
• When the layer is a child of a composite layer, that does not support IGroupLayer. For example, the child layers of a MapServerLayer have their order fixed by the server and cannot be reordered using drag and drop.

Map specifies an IMap object.

Layer specifies an ILayer object.

Unk specifies an ILegendGroup object.

Data specifies a long indicating the index of the legend class within the legend group. Use this index in conjunction with the legend group to obtain a particular legend class. An index of -1 refers to the heading if it is present.
