Zooming in on the map
The following code example shows how to zoom in on the map in the active view:
[C#]
public void ZoomInCenter(IApplication application)
{
IMxDocument mxDocument = application.Document as IMxDocument;
// Try the following different options to see how the code works in data or layout view:
IActiveView activeView = mxDocument.ActiveView;
//Dim activeView As IActiveView = mxDocument.PageLayout
//Dim activeView As IActiveView = mxDocument.FocusMap
// Get an envelope corresponding to the view extent.
IEnvelope envelope = activeView.Extent;
// Get the center point of the envelope.
IPoint centerPoint = new PointClass();
centerPoint.X = ((envelope.XMax - envelope.XMin) / 2) + envelope.XMin;
centerPoint.Y = ((envelope.YMax - envelope.YMin) / 2) + envelope.YMin;
//Resize the envelope width.
envelope.Width = envelope.Width / 2;
//Resize the envelope height.
envelope.Height = envelope.Height / 2;
//Move the envelope to the center point.
envelope.CenterAt(centerPoint);
//Set the envelope to view extent.
activeView.Extent = envelope;
activeView.Refresh();
}
[VB.NET]
Public Sub ZoomInCenter(ByVal application As IApplication)
Dim mxDocument As IMxDocument = TryCast(application.Document, IMxDocument)
' Try the following different options to see how the code works in data or layout view:
Dim activeView As IActiveView = mxDocument.ActiveView
'Dim activeView As IActiveView = mxDocument.PageLayout
'Dim activeView As IActiveView = mxDocument.FocusMap
' Get an envelope corresponding to the view extent.
Dim envelope As IEnvelope = activeView.Extent
' Get the center point of the envelope.
Dim centerPoint As IPoint = New PointClass()
centerPoint.X = ((envelope.XMax - envelope.XMin) / 2) + envelope.XMin
centerPoint.Y = ((envelope.YMax - envelope.YMin) / 2) + envelope.YMin
'Resize the envelope width.
envelope.Width = envelope.Width / 2
'Resize the envelope height.
envelope.Height = envelope.Height / 2
'Move the envelope to the center point.
envelope.CenterAt(centerPoint)
'Set the envelope to view extent.
activeView.Extent = envelope
activeView.Refresh()
End Sub
Listening to map events
The following code example demonstrates listening to map events:
[C#]
private IMapEvents_FeatureClassChangedEventHandler dFeatClsChangedE;
private IMapEvents_VersionChangedEventHandler dVerChangedE;
private void ListenToMapEvents(IApplication application)
{
IDocument document = application.Document;
IMapDocument mapDoc = document as IMapDocument;
IActiveView activeView = mapDoc.ActiveView;
IMap map = activeView.FocusMap;
IMapEvents_Event mapEvents = map as IMapEvents_Event;
//Initialize the delegate to point to a function where you respond to the event being raised.
dFeatClsChangedE = new IMapEvents_FeatureClassChangedEventHandler
(OnFeatureClassChangedFunction);
dVerChangedE = new IMapEvents_VersionChangedEventHandler
(OnVersionChangedFunction);
mapEvents.VersionChanged += dVerChangedE;
// Wire the delegate to the FeatureClassChanged event of the mapEvents variable.
mapEvents.FeatureClassChanged += dFeatClsChangedE;
}
private void OnFeatureClassChangedFunction(IFeatureClass oldClass, IFeatureClass
newClass)
{
// Listen to the FeatureClassChanged event of IMapEvents.
MessageBox.Show("Feature Class changed");
}
private void OnVersionChangedFunction(IVersion oldVersion, IVersion newVersion)
{
MessageBox.Show("Version Changed");
}
[VB.NET]
Private dFeatClsChangedE As IMapEvents_FeatureClassChangedEventHandler
Private dVerChangedE As IMapEvents_VersionChangedEventHandler
Private Sub ListenToMapEvents(ByVal application As IApplication)
Dim document As IDocument = application.Document
Dim mapDoc As IMapDocument = CType(document, IMapDocument)
Dim activeView As IActiveView = mapDoc.ActiveView
Dim map As IMap = activeView.FocusMap
Dim mapEvents As IMapEvents_Event = TryCast(map, IMapEvents_Event)
'Initialize the delegate to point to a function where you respond to the event being raised.
dFeatClsChangedE = New IMapEvents_FeatureClassChangedEventHandler(AddressOf OnFeatureClassChangedFunction)
dVerChangedE = New IMapEvents_VersionChangedEventHandler(AddressOf OnVersionChangedFunction)
AddHandler mapEvents.VersionChanged, dVerChangedE
' Wire the delegate to the FeatureClassChanged event of the mapEvents variable.
AddHandler mapEvents.FeatureClassChanged, dFeatClsChangedE
End Sub
Private Sub OnFeatureClassChangedFunction(ByVal oldClass As IFeatureClass, ByVal newClass As IFeatureClass)
' Listen to the FeatureClassChanged event of IMapEvents.
MessageBox.Show("Feature Class changed")
End Sub
Private Sub OnVersionChangedFunction(ByVal oldVersion As IVersion, ByVal newVersion As IVersion)
MessageBox.Show("Version Changed")
End Sub
Loading a table
The following code example loads a table into the focus map:
[C#]
public void AddTable(IMap map, IMxDocument mxDocument)
{
ITableCollection tableCollection = map as ITableCollection;
string tablePathName =
"C:\\Program Files\\ArcGIS\\DeveloperKit10.0\\Samples\\data\\Y2000HurricaneData";
string tableName = "2000_hrcn.dbf";
ITable table = OpenTable(tablePathName, tableName);
if (table == null)
{
return ;
}
else
{
tableCollection.AddTable(table);
mxDocument.UpdateContents();
}
}
public ITable OpenTable(string pathName, string tableName)
{
// Create the workspace name object.
IWorkspaceName workspaceName = new WorkspaceNameClass();
workspaceName.PathName = pathName;
workspaceName.WorkspaceFactoryProgID =
"esriDataSourcesFile.shapefileworkspacefactory";
// Create the table name object.
IDatasetName dataSetName = new TableNameClass();
dataSetName.Name = tableName;
dataSetName.WorkspaceName = workspaceName;
// Open the table.
IName name = dataSetName as IName;
ITable table = name.Open()as ITable;
return table;
}
[VB.NET]
Public Sub AddTable(ByVal map As IMap, ByVal mxDocument As IMxDocument)
Dim tableCollection As ITableCollection = TryCast(map, ITableCollection)
Dim tablePathName As String = "C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\DeveloperKit10.0\Samples\data\Y2000HurricaneData"
Dim tableName As String = "2000_hrcn.dbf"
Dim table As ITable = OpenTable(tablePathName, tableName)
If (table Is Nothing) Then
Return
Else
tableCollection.AddTable(table)
mxDocument.UpdateContents()
End If
End Sub
Public Function OpenTable(ByVal pathName As String, ByVal tableName As String) As ITable
' Create the workspace name object.
Dim workspaceName As IWorkspaceName = New WorkspaceNameClass()
workspaceName.PathName = pathName
workspaceName.WorkspaceFactoryProgID = "esriDataSourcesFile.shapefileworkspacefactory"
' Create the table name object.
Dim dataSetName As IDatasetName = New TableNameClass()
dataSetName.Name = tableName
dataSetName.WorkspaceName = workspaceName
' Open the table.
Dim Name As IName = TryCast(dataSetName, IName)
Dim table As ITable = TryCast(Name.Open(), ITable)
Return table
End Function
