Class FeatureInspector

java.lang.Object
  com.esri.arcgis.editor.FeatureInspector

All Implemented Interfaces:

IConnectionPointContainer, IExtendedObjectInspector, IObjectInspector, IObjectInspectorPanel, IObjectClassEvents, com.esri.arcgis.interop.RemoteObjRef, Serializable, EventListener

public class FeatureInspector
extends Object
implements com.esri.arcgis.interop.RemoteObjRef, IObjectInspector, IExtendedObjectInspector, IObjectInspectorPanel, IConnectionPointContainer, IObjectClassEvents

Default feature inspector for the Editor.

Remarks

This CoClass represents the default property inspector associated with the Editor. It has been made CoCreateable so that customized feature inspectors can incorporate it.

To create your own custom property inspector for a specific feature class, implement the IFeatureInspector interface. For example, you may want to have a custom Property Inspector that displays the area and perimeter of selected polygons or one that displays an image relating to the selected feature.

To create your own custom property inspector for features in a specific feature class, implement the IObjectInspector and IClassExtension interfaces, then add your extension’s GUID to the EXTCLSID field for that feature class in the GDB_ObjectClasses table. When the user opens the Attributes dialog box, it will display the custom inspector instead of the default inspector.

Instantiate a new FeatureInspector when you want to incorporate the default Property Inspector with your custom one.

public int getHWND()
            throws IOException,
                   AutomationException

The window handle for the inspector.

Remarks

The Object Inpector reads this property to determine what it will display in its right pane. Custom Object Inspectors must supply the hWnd property of the window or control that is going to be displayed.

Product Availability

Available with ArcGIS Desktop.

Supported Platforms

Windows

Specified by:

getHWND in interface IObjectInspector

Returns:

The hWND (A COM typedef)

Inspects the properties of the features.

Remarks

Use the Inspect method to display your custom Feature Inspector.

The Inspect method provides you with an enumeration of row objects to inspect as well as a pointer to the Editor extension. Use the row enumeration to retrieve properties of a feature. Then you can use the Editor object reference to modify properties of a row within the context of an edit operation.

In the event that a feature should be deleted due to an OnChange event, it is not recommended that the event handler delete the feature itself. Instead, an exception should be thrown to the application, where it can be made responsible for deleting the feature.

The OnChange event is not fired during a Topology Validation for performance reasons as a large number of features may be changed during a Validate. In addition, features may be changed many times.
