Hi Dayalan,

Your question doesn't elaborate at what step you want to know the selected FDO layer ?

Did you check the following blog post in ADN DevBlog ?

Accessing Layer names from the selected FDO Features

Does it help ?

Hi partha,

Thanks for your reply.

I want to save the layers from selected layer group.

Example: Selet a fdo layer from task pane, right click and we have the menu "Save Layer". By using this we can save in a .layer format.

The above option supports to save one layer at a time.

But my requirement is, user will select fdo Group layer in Task pane. After that we need to provide menu and button to save all layers under the group layer at single time by creating new menu on group layer and button in ribbon bar.

I am able to create new ribbob buttons. But my problem is, 1. how to create a menu on gorup layer(in the task pane)? 2. how to acces selected fdo layer(from task pane) from my autocad .net code.

Note: I know reading the features from fdo layer. This is not my requirment. My target is to get selected layer in task pane from .net code.

I belive the above information gives you clear info. Could you please provide some solutions.

Regards

Dayalan

Hi Dayalan,

>>> There is no public API to add a context menu in Display Manager UI components, like the above one, sorry. You may have to look for a workaround of iterating through the Layers in a LayerGroup using Geospatial Platform API. Did you try that path ?

Thanks,
