Filter Property (ItemDialog)

In This Topic

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

Visual Basic (Declaration)
C#

Public Property Filter As String

public string Filter {get; set;}

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

OpenItemDialog

{
  // Variables not used in samples
  OpenItemDialog selectItemDialog = new(); // in #region BrowseDialogItems

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

SaveItemDialog

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