Get the model open in the editor

Get the model of the active editor​

The active editor (the editor that last had focus) can be obtained using the EditorPage.CurrentEditorView.Editor property of the IWorkspaceWindow object. You can get the model of the obtained IEditor object using the Model property.

public void GetModelInEditor(ICommandContext c, ICommandParams p) 
{ 
IEditor editor = c.App.Window.EditorPage?.CurrentEditorView?.Editor; 
if (editor == null) { 
c.App.Window.UI.ShowMessageBox("Please display the editor before executing."); 
return; 
} 

var model = editor.Model; 
c.App.Output.WriteLine("Default", "Model to be edited: " + model.Name); 
c.App.Output.WriteLine("Default", "View being edited: " + editor.ViewDefinition.DisplayName); 
c.App.Output.WriteLine("Default", "Editor type: " + editor.EditorType); 
}

The above sample code uses the following API, which has been experimentally implemented.

  • IViewDefinition.DisplayName property

These APIs are not guaranteed for quality and are not listed in the API specifications. Use them at your own risk.

Get the main editor and sub-editor models​

To get the main editor, use the MainEditorView property of the IEditorPage object, and to get the sub-editor, use the SubEditorView property.

public void GetModelInMainSubEditors(ICommandContext c, ICommandParams p) 
{ 
IEditorPage editorPage = c.App.Window.EditorPage; 

//Get the two models open in the main editor and subeditor 
var mainEditor = editorPage?.MainEditorView?.Editor; 
var subEditor = editorPage?.SubEditorView?.Editor; 
if ((mainEditor == null) || (subEditor == null)) 
{ 
c.App.Window.UI.ShowMessageBox("Please display models in the main editor and subeditor before executing."); 
return; 
} 

c.App.Output.WriteLine("Default", "Model being edited in the main editor: " + mainEditor.Model.Name); 
c.App.Output.WriteLine("Default", "Model being edited in the subeditor: " + subEditor.Model.Name); 
}
