(Dear All, I have sent this email last week, but I did not see it in the
list )


 Thanks to all the kind ArcViewers who responded to my question !

 The Original question:
 ====================================================
 ====================================================
 Dear ArcViewers,

 I would like to know what would be the best way to recognize documents
types
 in an AV projects. I am having problems in getting the existing dialogs.

 My script lines go something like:


 TheList = av.getproject.getdocs
 MyList = Thelist.clone


 For each d in MyList

 WHAT SHOULD I PUT HERE TO RECOGNIZE THE DOC TYPE (view, table, SEd ...) I
 could put, but what about dialogs ?:

 if (d.is(view)) then

 msgbox.info("My Doc is a View","")

 end     'if (d.is(view)) then



 end    'For each d in MyList



 Thank you in advance for your help.

 Regards.

 I think you can recognize dialogs by replacing "view" in your code below
 with "DialogEditor".

 You're on the right track with the Is(View) stuff - that's how you have to
 test for document type.  Dialogs are considered layout documents for some
 reason.  I don't know why ESRI did that, but what can we do right?

 Hi Lyes,
 Dialogs are not part of ArcView documents.  They do not inherit from Doc
 object, so this way you won't be able to access them.
 Dialogs inherit from Window object, which is slightly different from Doc.
 See help on 'Dialog'.
 To access the dialogs use "av.getproject.GetDialogs" statement that gets a
 NameDictionary containing all the dialogs in the project.
 Let me know how it goes.

 You can find out for yourself with a bit of code like

 s = "Document list:"
 for each d in av.GetProject.GetDocs
    s = s + NL + d.GetName.Quote ++ "is a" ++ d.GetClass.GetClassName
 end
 MsgBox.Report(s, "Document types")
 ' end of script

 Hi Lyes,

 This is how to retrieve dialogs from a project.
 Dialogs you have created you can add to your project with
 av.GetProject.AddDialog(theDia).
 Remember, to name your dialog first with theDia.SetName("test")

 To retrieve your dialog from the project, use
 av.GetProject.FindDialog("test")
 If you want to know what dialogs are resident in your project use
 av.GetProject.GetDialogs, this returns a dictionary with the names of
 the dialogs as keys.

 Lots of succes.

 Hi Lyes MOKRAOUI,

 In d.is(view), change view to DialogEditor, then you can find de docs which
 are dialogs
