                              AutomationException
Reference to the parent application.

Description

Returns a reference to the application that created the editor.

Remarks

The Parent property provides a convenient way to get a reference to the application that created the Editor object. Edit tasks often use this property since they are only passed an IEditor reference and not an IApplication reference. For example, for an edit task to work with the Map's selection environment, the task will have to access properties belonging to IMXApplication .

getEditState

public int getEditState()
                 throws IOException,
                        AutomationException
The editor's current edit state.

Description

The EditState property communicates the current state of the editor.

Remarks

EditState uses the esriEditState Constants enumeration to indicate the editor's current state. Valid states are:

esriStateNotEditing 0
esriStateEditing 1
esriStateEditingUnfocused 2


A good example of using this property is setting the Enabled property on ICommand .

getMap

public IMap getMap()
            throws IOException,
                   AutomationException
Reference to the map being edited.

Remarks

Multiple maps may be present within the application but only one may be edited at a time. When StartEditing is called, an edit session begins on the focus map. Users may change the focus map at any time; use this property to get a reference to the map being edited.

getDisplay

public IScreenDisplay getDisplay()
                          throws IOException,
                                 AutomationException
Reference to the current display.

Remarks

Operations such as drawing and coordinate conversion require a display object. The Display property conveniently hands back the display object that should be used for all edit operations. Which display object does this property give back?

When working in the data view there are several display objects: the map itself has one and so do each of the magnifier windows. IScreenDisplay is a special type of display that dispatches draw requests to all of the display objects available. In data view, the editor hands back a reference to IAppDisplay because it expects that you want to draw in all of the available views. For example, the editor's tools draw the edit sketch using IAppDisplay so that it will appear on the map as well as in all the magnifier windows.

In layout view there are again several display objects. Each map has its own display object and so does the layout object itself. In this case, the editor hands back the display object associated with the current edit map. In this case, the editor expects that you only want to draw things in the current edit map.

                                   AutomationException
Reference to the workspace being edited.

Remarks

The EditWorkspace property returns a reference to the workspace being edited, only one workspace is editable at a time. StartEditing sets this property as it has a required IWorkspace parameter. The following example shows one possible way to use the EditWorkspace property.

                                      AutomationException
Reference to the editor's scratch workspace.

Remarks

During an edit session, the editor creates and manages a temporary workspace where it stores information about features. For example, when resolving conflicts in SDE, the editor uses this workspace to store conflicting features. Similarly, when editing shapefiles, the editor writes feature delta tables to this workspace.

startEditing

public void startEditing(IWorkspace workspace)
                  throws IOException,
                         AutomationException
Starts an edit session.

Description


Remarks

Data from multiple workspaces may be loaded into a single map. However, the editor can only edit one workspace at a time. For this reason, when calling StartEditing, you must specify the workspace you wish to edit and this workspace must be represented in the focus map. If no feature layers from the workspace are present in the focus map, StartEditing will fail.

StartEditing may also fail if the data is read-only or if it is non versioned SDE data.

Any references to features, cursors, or other geodatabase classes that you intend to use in the edit session should be acquired inside the edit session.

Parameters:
workspace - A reference to a com.esri.arcgis.geodatabase.IWorkspace (in)
Throws:
IOException - If there are interop problems.
AutomationException - If the ArcObject component throws an exception.

stopEditing

public void stopEditing(boolean saveChanges)
                 throws IOException,
                        AutomationException
Stops an edit session.

Remarks

Call this function to complete an edit session. The required Boolean parameter controls whether modifications made to features will be saved or discarded. To save your changes, use TRUE ; to discard them, use FALSE . StopEditing also clears all snap agents and unselects all selected features.

hasEdits

public boolean hasEdits()
                 throws IOException,
                        AutomationException
Indicates whether edits have been made during the session.

Remarks

This property reports whether or not any edits have been made in the current edit session. For example, if this property returns False, then StopEditing can be called and passed the False parameter automatically; you do not have to ask the user if they want to save their edits because you know there are none.

startOperation

public void startOperation()
                    throws IOException,
                           AutomationException
Starts an edit operation.

Remarks

StartOperation and StopOperation mark the beginning and end of an edit operation. Edit operations provide undo/redo capabilites for any action or set of actions (additions, deletions, or modifications) taken on features.
Calling StopOperation creates an edit operation that is added to the top of the operation stack. The operation stack is how ArcMap implements Undo and Redo. When using StartOperation, proper handling of errors, including the use of AbortOperation, is neccessary.

All edits to features that participate in a Topology or Geometric Network must be bracketed within an edit operation.

If you call StartOperation when an edit operation has already been started, you will get an error.

When To Use

Use this to access information about the StartOperation object.

abortOperation

public void abortOperation()
                    throws IOException,
                           AutomationException
Aborts an edit operation.

Remarks

This should be used when you want to test if the results of your edit operation are valid before calling the StopOperation method. If the test you set up fails, you call AbortOperation instead of StopOperation. The changes made after StartOperation was called are undone, and nothing is added to the operation stack.

Undo an edit operation.

Description

Rolls back all modifications made within an edit operation.

Remarks

Typically, UndoOperation and RedoOperation should be called within the context of an IOperation. Calling either of these directly, may corrupt the OperationStack. Instead, call Undo on IOperationStack to undo the last operation; this also moves the pointer down the stack, to the preceeding operation. UndoOperation is a shortcut to calling IWorkspaceEdit::UndoOperation on the current edit workspace.

                           AutomationException
Enable/disable the undo/redo capabilities.

Remarks

Use EnableUndoRedo to control whether edits to features can be rolled back. Edits made programmatically must be done within an edit operation in order to roll back an operation. If EnableUndoRedo is False then any changes are committed. To discard those edits the current edit session must be stopped and edits not saved. This method is a shortcut to calling IWorkspaceEdit::EnableUndoRedo on the current edit workspace.

delayEvents

public void delayEvents(boolean delay)
                 throws IOException,
                        AutomationException
Used to batch operations together and minimize notifications.

Remarks

Use DelayEvents to control whether or not the editor triggers event notifications for each change in the editor's selection. For example, instead of the editor calling IEditEvents::OnSelectionChanged every time you select a feature, you may want the editor to only fire this event once--when the entire selection process is complete.
DelayEvents only affects OnSelectionChanged; all other events fire at the appropriate time.

Searches the edit selection using the given location.

Remarks

SearchSelection is a convenient method that creates a sub-selection of the Map's currently selected features. The sub-selection contains only features that are within close proximity to the input point location. Use SearchSelection when you have a large selection (≥ 25 features) and you want to search for a selected feature that is near a specific point location. For example, use this method when checking if the mouse is positioned over a selected feature. It is considerably quicker to interrogate only features that are near the cursor than to look at all selected features in the Map. Note: with small Map selections (< 25 features), the reverse is true; there is no need to call SearchSelection to reduce the selection as it is already small and likely cached in memory.

Parameters:
point - A reference to a com.esri.arcgis.geometry.IPoint (in)
Returns:
A reference to a com.esri.arcgis.geodatabase.IEnumFeature
Throws:
IOException - If there are interop problems.
AutomationException - If the ArcObject component throws an exception.

invertAgent

public void invertAgent(IPoint loc,
                        int hdc)
                 throws IOException,
                        AutomationException
Draws the editor's snapping agent.

Remarks

Call InvertAgent to draw the editor's agent at the location specified by the required point parameter. A device handle is also required. The agent is typically used to display the mouse location or a location based on a constraint when adding points to an edit sketch. Call InvertAgent a second time with the same point parameter to draw over and erase the previous agent.

You can change the editor's snap agent symbol using IEditProperties::SnapSymbol .

getSelectionAnchor

public IAnchorPoint getSelectionAnchor()
                                throws IOException,
                                       AutomationException
The selection anchor point.

Remarks

Editing tools that require the location of the selection anchor can conveniently get it from the SelectionAnchor property. For example, the editor's Rotate Tool rotates features around the selection anchor.

getLocation

public IPoint getLocation()
                   throws IOException,
                          AutomationException
The last known location of the mouse.

Remarks

This property is set when you right-click on the edit sketch. Once a point has been stored in this property, it remains there until the next time you right-click on the edit sketch.

Use this property when creating custom commands in the sketch context menu that require a point location to perform some operation. For example, the 'Insert Vertex' command use the location property to determine where to add the new vertex.

If you need the location of the sketch tool for a command in the sketch tool context menu, use the ISketchTool::Location property.
