User should be able to select a point on the map and have the point highlight in the list (ArcGIS Pro) #360

After populating multiple points in the map with the Coordinate Conversion pane, the user should then be able to select one of those points on the map and have that coordinate highlighted in the list.

@saip please place the proper label on this issue so that we understand where in the development process this issue is.

topowright-zz commented 6 years ago

After speaking with @saip tonight it has been discussed that there might be a challenge with allowing the user to select multiple points on the map that would in turn be highlighted in the list. @CTLocalGovTeam is going to work on this feature for one more day and if they are not able to finish it by 9/6/2018 we will break this issue into two pieces of functionality. The first delivery will allow the user to select a point on the map and then have that point highlighted in the list. The second feature will be to allow the user to select multiple points on the map and have those points highlighted in the list. @dfoll @lfunkhouser

I think this is acceptable, I question if it is even useful to be able to do this with multiple points. The whole point of the issue is to select one point you have placed and be able to pick it out from the list. If this functionality works on multiple points, we are back to the same problem this issue intended to fix of "which graphic belongs to which coordinate in the list?"

Recently rebuilt CC build 19 and MT build 122 to test

With ArcGIS Pro 2.2.0 and the rebuilt CC add-in, I can highlight points on the map by clicking in the list. When I click a new item in the list, it becomes "selected" in the list and the corresponding point on the map is highlighted. The previously selected item on the list becomes unselected, and the previous point loses highlight. This is good. image.png However, when I click points on the map, each point I click stays highlighted, and the rows in the list stay highlighted. image.png This seems wrong.
Control-Select and Shift-Select options work as expected on the list, but not on the map.

@dfoll - see comment above. Does this seem like the expected behavior?

dfoll commented 6 years ago

@BobBooth misunderstood your comment. we can look at this together later.

@CTLocalGovTeam In ArcGIS Pro (testing with 2,1) this needs some revision: When you select points in the map, it adds to the highlighted list in the map, instead of highlighting that single coordinate.

  1. Create three points in the map
  2. Use the Select Point tool to select a point in the map the point highlights, this is correct
  3. Use the `Select Point' tool to select a different point there are now two points highlighted in the list. This is not correct.

Both points should only be selected if the user used Ctrl+click when selecting the second point. If the user did just a regular single click on the map, only that point should be highlighted in the list. This is the way the list functions when you click points on the list. pointselecting
