ESRI SceneControl

Description

The SceneControl encapsulates the SceneViewer class and provides additional properties, methods and events for: managing the general appearance; loading scene documents into the control; managing the scene, scene graph and camera properties, and setting the current tool.

Remarks

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

Product Availability

Available with ArcGIS Engine.

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

Description

The CurrentTool is the tool used to interact will the SceneControl'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.

Description

The Navigate property determines whether the default SceneControl navigation functionality is enabled at run time. By default the Navigate property is set to false. When the Navigate property is set to true, the end user can use the left mouse button to navigate backwards and forwards and to the left and right of the display, and the right mouse button to zoom in and out on the display.

Remarks

When the Navigate property is set to true, the OnMouseDown, OnMouseMove, OnMouseUp events are being intercepted. As such, care must be taken by developers to avoid the display becoming confused when:

• The OnMouseDown, OnMouseMove, OnMouseUp events contain code that interacts with the Camera.
• The SceneControl is being used in conjunction with the ToolbarControl with Control Commands or custom commands hosted on it. When a command hosted on the ToolbarControl is selected by the end user to become the CurrentTool, both the Navigate functionality and the CurrentTool are catching the OnMouseDown, OnMouseMove, OnMouseUp events.
