View state

You can subscribe to events to get notified about state changes to layers, elevation sources, and the view. The following events, for example, can be used to help you determine if there is a problem with your scene or to make user interface updates.

These events will return the current state of the content in the view through ArcGISViewState, ArcGISLayerViewState, ArcGISElevationSourceViewState, and ArcgisDrawStatus objects. These state objects contain a combined status to indicate, for example, that a specific layer is not visible or has a warning. Additional information from some of these objects can be obtained by calling GetMessage() when the status is an error or a warning.

  2. In the Details panel, click the + Add button.
  3. Search for the ArcGIS View State Logging and select it to attach the Component.

After attaching the ArcGIS View State Logging Component to the ArcGIS Map Actor, you can disable the logging or hide warnings from the Details panel.
