Interface IMxDocument

All Superinterfaces:

Serializable

All Known Implementing Classes:

IMxDocumentProxy, MxDocument

public interface IMxDocument
extends Serializable

Provides access to members that control the Mx Document.

Remarks

This interface is a starting point for much of the other objects in ArcMap. For example, this interface provides access to the current active view, the currently selected map, all of the maps, and the style gallery. This interface also has many properties reflected in the running application including: the text font, the text size, and the search tolerance. Almost every ArcMap customization uses IMxDocument one way or another.

Obtain a reference to this interface via IApplication::Document.

To edit the contents of a map document saved to a file (*.mxd) outside of an ArcMap session or without instantiating a new Application (ArcMap process), see IMapDocument. IMapDocument provides the ability to edit and save the contents of a map document.

setPageLayoutByRef

void setPageLayoutByRef(IPageLayout pageLayout)
                        throws IOException,
                               AutomationException

The page layout.

Parameters:

pageLayout - A reference to a com.esri.arcgis.carto.IPageLayout (in)

Throws:

IOException - If there are interop problems.

AutomationException - If the ArcObject component throws an exception.

getPageLayout

IPageLayout getPageLayout()
                          throws IOException,
                                 AutomationException

The page layout.

Remarks

This method returns an IPageLayout reference to the PageLayout object. The page layout is the visual representation of a map. A typical page layout is composed of a page and many elements including data, graphics, and text.

From an object point of view, the PageLayout object has a Page object and a collection of Element objects. The page is used to manage page size and printing. Element objects include MapFrames, GraphicElements, and TextElements. Anything that can be placed on a map is a type of element.

Athough, you can programmatically create your own page layout and assign it to the map document, the general practice is to modify the existing one.

getActiveView

IActiveView getActiveView()
                          throws IOException,
                                 AutomationException

The active view.

Remarks

This method provides access to the active view. ArcMap currently supports two types of views, layout view and data view; the view with focus is the active view. If ArcMap is in layout view, this property returns an IActiveView reference to the PageLayout object. Alternatively, if ArcMap is in data view, the returned IActiveView reference is to a Map object. Both the PageLayout and Map objects implement the IActiveView interface.

Note, an ArcMap document may have multiple maps (data frames) in it. Multiple maps means multiple Map objects. Any Map in this collection may be set as the active view. There is typically only one PageLayout object per session of ArcMap.

To determine if the returned reference is to a PageLayout object or a Map, attempt a query interface (QI) to either IPageLayout or IMap. If you know you want a reference to the focus map, use IMxDocument::FocusMap instead. Similarly, if you know you want a reference to the page layout, use IMxDocument::PageLayout instead. This is often the case when you need to refresh the display. For example, if someone has panned the map and you now need to refresh it, explicitly use IMxDocument::FocusMap which returns a reference to the Map with focus, and then QI for IActiveView.

Use this property to also set the active view programmatically.

                                    AutomationException

The activated view. This is the same as the active view unless a data frame is activated within a layout.

Remarks

This property is primarily used when adding graphics as it conveniently gives a reference to the object set as the target graphics container.

In ArcMap's layout view, graphics can either be added to the PageLayout's graphics container or the focus Map's graphics container if the Map has been activated by double-clicking on it. In this case, IMxDocument::ActiveView differs from IMxDocument::ActivatedView in that the ActiveView property may pass a reference to the PageLayout object while the ActivatedView property may pass a reference to the focus Map object if that Map has been activated. In data view, both ActiveView and ActivatedView return a reference to the focus Map.

                                     AutomationException

The command associated with the active view.

Remarks

The command associated with the current active view.

In ArcMap the active view can be either a Map (corresponding to Data view in ArcMap) or a PageLayout (corresponding to Layout view in ArcMap). To switch between these different views, ArcMap has two active view commands: GeographicViewCommand and LayoutViewCommand. These commands are the tiny globe and page buttons on the scroll bar and also appear in the View menu. GeographicViewCommand sets the focus Map as the ActiveView and LayoutViewCommand sets the PageLayout as the ActiveView.

IMap getFocusMap()
                 throws IOException,
                        AutomationException

The current focus map.

Remarks

This property is a short-cut to IActiveView::FocusMap and is read-only. To programmatically change the FocusMap use IActiveView::FocusMap.

A user's map may comprise one or more Map objects. Each Map object typically holds layers of data as well as several MapSurround objects such as a Legend. This property returns an IMap reference to the Map object that currently has focus. In ArcMap, the focus map is the one visible in data view and the one selected in layout view.

The selected item in the layer control.

Remarks

This property returns a reference to the currently selected item in the table of contents. The return is an IUnknown because there are several possbile objects the selected item can be.

When working in the Display tab, the reference could be to a Map object if you have a data frame selected, one of the Layer objects (FeatureLayer, FDOGraphicsLayer, etc) if you have a layer selected, or a LegendGroup if you have a unique value or heading selected.

In the Source tab, the reference can be to any of the above objects plus a Table, FeatureDataset, or Workspace.

In the case where more than one item is selected, the reference is to a Set object.

                                         AutomationException

The operation stack.

Remarks

The map document manages an operation stack which provides undo/redo functionality. Modifications, including those to elements and features, are typically wrapped inside an operation. Operations are added to the operation stack so the modification can be rolled out and then rolled back if desired. For example, when a graphic element is moved, the operation can be undone moving the graphic back to its original location.

Depending on your scenario, there are different methodologies for creating an operation and adding it to the OperationStack.

• If your tool edits features and rows, you can use IEditor::StartOperation, and IEditor::StopOperation and the actions in between will be automatically added to the OperationStack as a single operation. Stopping an edit session clears the OperationStack.
• If you are outside an editsession and updating a geodatabase directly, calls to IWorkspaceEdit::StartEditOperation and StopEditOperation will not automatically add anything to ArcMap’s OperationStack since these interfaces are independent of ArcMap, and these changes will be made directly to the geodatabase.
• For other actions, for example on graphic elements, you need to create a custom operation object that implements IOperation. The operation is executed and loaded onto the stack with a call to IOperationStack::Do.

The current mouse location in map units.

Remarks

A lot of tools require the current mouse location in order to perform an operation. This property provides a short-cut alternative to having to manually calculate the current mouse location in map units. For example, a typical pan tool needs the current mouse location in three different places: when the mouse if first clicked, while the mouse drags, and when the button is released. Although ITool provides the mouse location for each of these events, the location is given in x,y device units. Rather than writing a function that uses something like IDisplayTransformation::ToMapPoint to calculate the location in map units, the Location property does this automatically behind the scenes.

Indicates document update notifications should be ignored.

Remarks

Delays calling refresh of the current contents view. For example, after loading a layer you should call UpdateContents to refresh the contents view (table on contents). When loading several layers, there is no need to refresh the contents view after each layer is loaded; instead, delay refreshing the contents view until all the layers have been loaded.

All calls to UpdateContents are ignored when DelayUpdateContents is set to TRUE. To ensure the contents view is ultimately refreshed, UpdateContents is automatically called when DelayUpdateContents is set back to FALSE.

                                            AutomationException

The current contents view of the document.

Remarks

A contents view is a tab in the table of contents. ArcMap ships with two contents views, Display and Source. The object behind Display is TOCDisplayView and TOCCatalogView is behind the Source view. Custom contents views can be created by implementing the IContentsView interface. Only one contents view can be active at a time. Use this property to set the current contents view and to get a reference to the current contents view. Setting the current contents view automatically calls IContentsView::Refresh.
