Workaround

Currently the sample starts the application using the MxDocument class where they can get the application reference from the MxDocument that was just started. The workaround involves starting the process using the standard .NET Process class then utilizes the AppROT AppAdded event handler to obtain the application reference. //import user32.dll to call GetWindowThreadProcessId[System.Runtime.InteropServices.DllImport("user32")]static extern int GetWindowThreadProcessId(IntPtr hWnd, out int processId); private void btnStartApp_Click(object sender, EventArgs e){ m_appROTEvent = new AppROTClass(); m_appROTEvent.AppAdded += new IAppROTEvents_AppAddedEventHandler(m_appROTEvent_AppAdded); m_appROTEvent.AppRemoved += new IAppROTEvents_AppRemovedEventHandler(m_appROTEvent_AppRemoved); System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine("Starting process " + DateTime.Now); Process arcMapProcess = Process.Start(@"<a href="file:C:/Program" target="_blank">C:\Program</a> Files (x86)\ArcGIS\Desktop10.1\bin\ArcMap.exe"); //get the ID of the process that was just started arcMapProcessId = <a href="http://arcMapProcess.Id" target="_blank">arcMapProcess.Id</a>; while (!m_appStarted) Application.DoEvents(); ////Enable/disable controls accordingly txtShapeFilePath.Enabled = true; btnShutdown.Enabled = true; btnDrive.Enabled = ShouldEnableAddLayer; cboApps.Enabled = btnStartApp.Enabled = false;}void m_appROTEvent_AppAdded(AppRef pApp){ //get the ID of the app that was just added GetWindowThreadProcessId((IntPtr)pApp.hWnd, out appAddedProcessId); // compare the IDs to know that you have the correct application instance if (appAddedProcessId == arcMapProcessId) { //Get a reference of the application and make it visible m_application = pApp; m_application.Visible = true; m_appHWnd = m_application.hWnd; System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine("HWND from AppAdded " + m_appHWnd.ToString() + " " + DateTime.Now); m_appStarted = true; }}
