FindStandaloneTables Method (Map)

In This Topic

Finds StandaloneTables by name. Group layers within the map are also searched.

Syntax

C#
Visual Basic (Declaration)

public IReadOnlyList<StandaloneTable> FindStandaloneTables( 
   string name
)

Public Function FindStandaloneTables( _
   ByVal name As String _
) As IReadOnlyList(Of StandaloneTable)

Parameters

name: The name of the StandaloneTable(s)

Return Value

A IReadOnlyList of StandaloneTables with the matching name

Remarks

A name is not necessarily unique. More than one StandaloneTable can have the same name. To retrieve StandaloneTables from only the map container and not include StandaloneTables within group layers (within the map), use StandaloneTables

Example

Find edit template by name on a layer

ArcGIS.Desktop.Framework.Threading.Tasks.QueuedTask.Run(() =>
{
  //get the templates
  var map = ArcGIS.Desktop.Mapping.MapView.Active.Map;
  if (map == null)
    return;

  var mainTemplate = map.FindLayers("main").FirstOrDefault()?.GetTemplate("Distribution");
  var mhTemplate = map.FindLayers("Manhole").FirstOrDefault()?.GetTemplate("Active");
});

Find table templates belonging to a standalone table

ArcGIS.Desktop.Framework.Threading.Tasks.QueuedTask.Run(() =>
{
  var map = ArcGIS.Desktop.Mapping.MapView.Active.Map;
  if (map == null)
    return;
  //Get a particular table template
  var tableTemplate = map.FindStandaloneTables("Address Points").FirstOrDefault()?.GetTemplate("Residences");
  //Get all the templates of a standalone table
  var ownersTableTemplates = map.FindStandaloneTables("Owners").FirstOrDefault()?.GetTemplates();
  var statisticsTableTemplates = MapView.Active.Map.GetStandaloneTablesAsFlattenedList().First(l => l.Name.Equals("Trading Statistics")).GetTemplates();
});

Find a standalone table

// these routines find a standalone table whether it is a child of the Map or a GroupLayer
var tblFind = aMap.FindStandaloneTable("CIMPATH=map/address_audit.xml");

IReadOnlyList<StandaloneTable> tables = aMap.FindStandaloneTables("addresses");

// this method finds a standalone table as a child of the map only
var table = aMap.StandaloneTables.FirstOrDefault(t => t.Name == "Addresses");

Retrieve a table from its container

var container = MapView.Active.Map;

//the map standalone table collection
var table = container.GetStandaloneTablesAsFlattenedList()
                        .FirstOrDefault(tbl => tbl.Name == "EarthquakeDamage");

//or from a group layer
var grp_layer = MapView.Active.Map.FindLayers("GroupLayer1").First() as GroupLayer;
var table2 = grp_layer.FindStandaloneTables("EarthquakeDamage").First();
//or         grp_layer.GetStandaloneTablesAsFlattenedList().First()
//or         grp_layer.StandaloneTables.Where(...).First(), etc.

//show the table in a table view 
//use FrameworkApplication.Current.Dispatcher.BeginInvoke if not on the UI thread
FrameworkApplication.Panes.OpenTablePane(table2);
