Represents a single item shown in a Gallery, consisting of an image, caption, tooltip, and a caption for a subgroup within the Gallery.

Namespace:  ESRI.ArcGISExplorer.Application

Assembly:  ESRI.ArcGISExplorer.Application (in ESRI.ArcGISExplorer.Application.dll) Version: 2.0.0.1500 (2.0.0.1500)

Syntax

C#
public sealed class GalleryItem
Visual Basic (Declaration)
Public NotInheritable Class GalleryItem

Remarks

GalleryItems are shown in a Gallery on the Ribbon, either within a drop-down list or embedded within the Ribbon itself. GalleryItems should be added to the Items collection property in order to be shown in the Gallery.

Each GalleryItem has:

  • An image - an icon shown in the Gallery; often a visual representation of the action or effect of choosing that specific GalleryItem.
  • A caption - shown beneath the Image in the Gallery; maximum visible length is determined by values in the AddIns.xml file.
  • A tooltip - shown when the user hovers the mouse over the item in the Gallery.
  • A group caption - used to group GalleryItems under headings within the Gallery.
  • A tag - an object can be stored with a GalleryItem to help identify the item or associate it with an action. Not used in the user interface.

The appearance of the overall list is determined by the class itself, for example whether it is a drop-down list or embedded in the Ribbon, the number of columns of items, the width given to each item.

Examples

The example code below shows a very simple Gallery class which displays 3 items; clicking on each item will zoom the display so that a specific location is in the center of the map, and the current altitude/map scale is maintained.
