ESRI PageLayoutControl

Description

The PageLayoutControl encapsulates the PageLayout CoClass and provides additional properties, methods and events for: managing the general appearance, display properties and page properties of the control; adding and finding elements within the control; loading map documents into the control; dropping data onto the control from other applications; and printing.

Remarks

The PageLayoutControl uses a ScreenDisplay as the display object for drawing and will therefore react to the same keyboard and mouse actions as the ScreenDisplay object.

There is no need to declare the PageLayoutControl 's outbound interface as described below in most development environments, because the interface is automaticlly implemented.

Product Availability

Available with ArcGIS Engine.

Custom mouse icon used if MousePointer is 99.

Description

The MouseIcon property provides a custom icon that is used when the MousePointer property is set to esriPointerArrowHourglass (99).

Remarks

In most development evironments the control's property pages can be used to load either a cursor (.cur) or icon (.ico) file. A cursor contains a custom 'hotspot' location and can be any size. The 'hotspot' location for an icon file defaults to the center of the icon. This property cannot be used to load animated cursor (.ani) files.

To programatically create an object implementing IPictureDisp there is the win32 function OleLoadPicture or helper methods depending on the development environment.

Current active tool for the PageLayoutControl. Set to nothing to clear the tool.

Description

The CurrentTool is the tool used to interact will the PageLayoutControl's display. Always check if a tool is enabled before setting it to the CurrentTool property, otherwise a user will be able to use a tool that is actually disabled.

Remarks

When the CurrentTool is set the following events occur:

1. The ITool::Deactivate event is triggered on the 'old' CurrentTool if one was set. If this event returns false a trappable error ocurrs. If this event returns true the 'old' CurrentTool is removed and replaced.
2. The ICommand::OnClick event is triggered on the 'new' CurrentTool and its cursor is picked up.

Within an ITool implementation it is recommended that the ITool::Deactivate event returns true. This allows a 'new' CurrentTool to be set, and allows the release of the CurrentTool when an application is shutting down.

When the PageLayoutControl is added to a container the PageLayout's element selection, IActiveView::Selection, is Nothing. This causes the esriViewGraphicSelection draw phase to ignore any selected graphics. To resolve this, set the IActiveView::Selection property to the IViewManager::ElementSelection property. This will result in the MapFrame element becoming selected.

The IActiveView::ShowRuler property will not display any rulers on the PageLayout because the PageLayoutControl does not itself manage rulers. An application must draw its own rulers.

suppressResizeDrawing

public void suppressResizeDrawing(boolean suppressResize,
                                  int resizeHWnd)
                           throws IOException,
                                  AutomationException

Suppress full redraw of control during resize operations.

Description

If the PageLayoutControl contains a lot of data, redrawing this data during a resize event can be costly. To increase performance you can suppress the data redraw until the resizing is complete with the SuppressResizeDrawing method. During the resize a stretched bitmap will be drawn instead.

Passing the suppressResize value sets the IScreenDisplay::SuppressResize property on the ActiveView. Pass True to suppress normal drawing and draw a stretched bitmap when a resize event begins. During the resize the data is not refereshed and the captured image is stretched. As such, the image can appear pixelated when a small display area is resized to a large display area. Pass False to resume normal drawing when a resize event ends.

In development environments that do not trap the beginning and end of a resize event, the PageLayoutControl can 'watch' the hwnd supplied to the SuppressResizeDrawing method. When a form or container starts resizing the WM_ENTERSIZEMOVE windows messge is sent and the PageLayoutControl will set suppressResize to True. When windows sends the WM_EXITSIZEMOVE message the form or container is released from resizing and the the PageLayoutControl will set suppressResize to False. Pass the hwnd of the form or container to the SuppressResizeDrawing method when the form or container is initialized. Passing an hwnd of 0 will stop the PageLayoutControl watching the hwnd.

getObject

public Object getObject()
                 throws IOException,
                        AutomationException

A property that returns the underlying control. This can be used when the control is inside a wrapper object that has been added by a development environment.

Description

In some development environments it is not possible to query interface directly on the control to other COM interfaces, beacuse the control is contained within a wrapper object. To get the real control use the Object property.

getKeyIntercept

public int getKeyIntercept()
                    throws IOException,
                           AutomationException

A property that specifies interception of key strokes that are normally handled by the container. When intercepted the OnKeyDown and OnKeyUp events will be called. This value can be a combined bit mask of esriKeyIntercept enum values.

Description

Returns or sets keys on the keyboard that will be intercepted by the PageLayoutControl, triggering the OnKeyDown and OnKeyUp events when pressed. These keys are often hidden from the PageLayoutControl by the development environment container. By default the KeyIntercept is set to esriKeyInterceptNone.

Many development environment containers use the up, down, left and right arrow keys to change control focus on a form. These keys can also be useful for navigating around the display. To intercept the arrow keys and the Tab key combine the enum values using a logical OR operation (esriKeyInterceptArrowKeys OR esriKeyInterceptTabKey, which is 1 OR 4 = 5).

                                       AutomationException

Indicates whether keyboard scrolling is enabled.

Description

Determines whether the 'Home' (keyCode 36), 'End' (keyCode 35), 'Page Down' (keyCode 34), 'PageUp' (keyCode 33) and 'Arrow' (keyCode 37-40) keys on the keyboard can be used to pan around the control's display. This property is true by default.

Most development environments use the 'Arrow' keys to switch focus between the controls embedded in a form or container. In such environments the PageLayoutControl will not by default receive the 'Arrow' keys to pan the display. To ensure 'Arrow' keys are received by the PageLayoutControl the KeyIntercept property must be set to intercept the 'Arrow' keys in order to pan the display when AutoKeyboardScrolling is true.
