LookupSymbol Method—ArcGIS Pro

Looks up the symbol for the corresponding feature identified by the object id. This method will return null when the input OID is not part of the feature layer definition or if the renderer returns a null symbol. This method must be called on the MCT. Use QueuedTask.Run

Syntax

C#
Visual Basic (Declaration)

public CIMSymbol LookupSymbol( 
   long oid,
   MapView view
)

Public Function LookupSymbol( _
   ByVal oid As Long, _
   ByVal view As MapView _
) As CIMSymbol

Parameters

oid: Object id of the feature to lookup
view: The viewer whose scale or camera will be used

Return Value

ArcGIS.Core.CIM.CIMSymbol

Exceptions

Exception	Description
ArcGIS.Core.CalledOnWrongThreadException	This method or property must be called within the lambda passed to QueuedTask.Run.
System.ArgumentNullException	MapView is null
System.InvalidOperationException	Unsupported renderer type

Remarks

The looked up symbol takes into consideration the current view extent (2D) or camera distance from the ground (3D) and reference scale. Visual variables present on the renderer for color, size*, transparency, and rotation are applied.
Not all renderers support symbol lookup. Check CanLookupSymbol to determine if the given feature layer renderer can support symbol lookup. Calling LookupSymbol on a layer with an unsupported renderer will throw a System.InvalidOperationException
*Size visual variable with 3D views is currently assumed to be proportional on all symbol axis.
