Product Availability: ArcFM Engine

In ArcFM Viewer, the Data View tabs are part of a MDI window. The ArcFM Viewer user interface allows the user to easily add tabs to the Data View window (see Using ArcFM Viewer for ArcGIS Engine online help). This developer sample illustrates how to make a custom MDI window tab that displays a report.

Developer Sample: Developer Samples\Tabbed MDI Windows\C# - Tabbed MDI Windows\

How to Implement:

1. You may modify the code sample. This step is not required.
2. Build the solution.
3. Copy the DLL to the ArcFM Solution\bin directory.
4. Add the tabbed MDI window to a custom.layout file. For example, create a file called sample.custom.layout (or create it) and add the following line of XML to the <MdiTabManager> section.

    <MdiTab key="DevMDIWindow">
     <MdiWindow type="Miner.DeveloperSamples.Engine.DevMDIWindow, ArcFMViewerEngineMDIWindow" >
       <CreateData>
        <Param type="System.String" value="DevMDIWindow" />
       </CreateData>
     </MdiWindow>
    </MdiTab>

5. So the XML in your sample.custom.layout file will look something like this:
   
   

   sample.custom.layout

   Copy Code

   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="us-ascii"?> <LayoutData xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" layoutFormat="2"> <MainWindow> <MdiTabManager> <MdiTabGroups> <MdiTabGroup> <MdiTabs> <MdiTab key="DevMDIWindow"> <MdiWindow type="Miner.DeveloperSamples.Engine.DevMDIWindow, ArcFMViewerEngineMDIWindow" > <CreateData> <Param type="System.String" value="DevMDIWindow" /> </CreateData> </MdiWindow> </MdiTab> </MdiTabs> </MdiTabGroup> </MdiTabGroups> </MdiTabManager> </MainWindow> </LayoutData>

6. Save the custom.layout file to the ArcFM Solution\bin\Addons\ArcFMViewer directory if you're using ArcFM Viewer for ArcGIS Engine. If you add the custom layout file to the Addons directory, the MDI window will appear in other ArcFM Engine applications as well (e.g., Engine Administrator).
