BUILDING APPLICATIONS WITH WINDOWS CONTROLS
Creating a popup menu for the PageLayoutControl
As well as adding ArcGIS Engine commands to the ToolbarControl to work with
the buddy control, as in the previous step, you can also create popup menus from
the ArcGIS Engine commands. You will add a popup menu that works with the
PageLayoutControl to your application. The popup menu will display whenever
the right mouse button is used on the display area of the PageLayoutControl.
1. Add the following member variable to the class:
public class Form1 : System.Windows.Forms.Form
{
private ESRI.ArcGIS.ToolbarControl.AxToolbarControl
axToolbarControl1;
private ESRI.ArcGIS.TOCControl.AxTOCControl axTOCControl1;
private ESRI.ArcGIS.MapControl.AxMapControl axMapControl1;
private ESRI.ArcGIS.PageLayoutControl.AxPageLayoutControl
axPageLayoutControl1;
private IToolbarMenu m_ToolbarMenu = new ToolbarMenuClass(); // The
popup menu
…
2. Add the following code to the Form_Load event after the code, adding the
commands to the ToolbarControl but before the load document code.
private void Form1_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
// Add Map navigation commands…
// Share the ToolbarControl’s command pool.
m_ToolbarMenu.CommandPool = axToolbarControl1.CommandPool;
// Add commands to the ToolbarMenu.
progID = "esriControlToolsPageLayout.ControlsPageZoomInFixedCommand";
m_ToolbarMenu.AddItem(progID, -1, -1, false,
esriCommandStyles.esriCommandStyleIconAndText);
progID = "esriControlToolsPageLayout.ControlsPageZoomOutFixedCommand";
