Filter Property—ArcGIS Pro

Gets or sets the filter used to restrict the items listed in the Browse dialog box to the subset that is appropriate for a specific task.

Syntax

C#
Visual Basic (Declaration)

public string Filter {get; set;}

Public Property Filter As String

Remarks

The items available in the Browse dialog box may be filtered to ensure only items appropriate for a specific task are presented. For example, when the Browse dialog box is used to set a tool's parameter, the parameter may require the item to be set to a point feature class or a raster dataset. Items are filtered by specifying a filter or providing the identifier of a browse dialog filter defined in DAML.

Example

/// Adds a single item to a map
OpenItemDialog addToMapDialog = new OpenItemDialog()
{
  Title = "Add To Map",
  InitialLocation = @"C:\Data\NewYork\Counties\Erie\Streets",
  Filter = ItemFilters.composite_addToMap
};

SaveItemDialog saveLayerFileDialog = new SaveItemDialog()
{
  Title = "Save Layer File",
  InitialLocation = @"C:\Data\ProLayers\Geographic\Streets",
  Filter = ItemFilters.layers_allFileTypes
};
