create pop-up disclaimer window on web map load

Anonymous User

Hi all,

I would like a visitor to my SL-powered web map to be presented with a disclaimer window that they must accept (via checkbox) before being allowed to view the application.  Any ideas on where to start?

I know this post is rather old, but wanted to share my solution. I believe I got it from this forum somewhere.

MainPage.xaml.cs

//add this just inside the main usercontrol class
        //Disclaimer
        Disclaimer disclaimer = new Disclaimer();
        public bool DisclaimerShown = false;
...
...
//add this in after the MainPage() section
#region Disclaimer
        private void ShowDisclaimerOnLoad(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            if (DisclaimerShown == false)
            {
                if (GetCookie("GIS-Disclaimer") != "TRUE")
                {
                    SetCookie("GIS-Disclaimer", "TRUE");

                    disclaimer.Show();

                    DisclaimerShown = true;
                }
                else
                {
                    //MapBlackout.Visibility = Visibility.Collapsed;
                }
            }

            if (sender.ToString() != "MyMap_Progress") { disclaimer.Show(); }
        }

        private void SetCookie(string key, string value)
        {
            // Expire in 7 days
            DateTime expireDate = DateTime.Now + TimeSpan.FromDays(7);

            string newCookie = key + "=" + value + ";expires=" + expireDate.ToString("R");
            HtmlPage.Document.SetProperty("cookie", newCookie);
        }

        private string GetCookie(string key)
        {
            string[] cookies = HtmlPage.Document.Cookies.Split(';');

            foreach (string cookie in cookies)
            {
                string[] keyValue = cookie.Split('=');
                if (keyValue.Length == 2)
                {
                    if (keyValue[0].ToString() == key)
                        return keyValue[1];
                }
            }
            return null;
        }
        #endregion Disclaimer

Create a Disclaimer.xaml...

<controls:ChildWindow x:Class="COVGIS.Disclaimer"
           xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" 
           xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" 
           xmlns:controls="clr-namespace:System.Windows.Controls;assembly=System.Windows.Controls"
                      
           Width="400" Height="400" 
           Title="Disclaimer" HasCloseButton="False">
    <Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot" Margin="2">
        <Grid.RowDefinitions>
            <RowDefinition />
            <RowDefinition Height="Auto" />
        </Grid.RowDefinitions>
        <StackPanel Grid.Row="0">
            <TextBlock TextWrapping="Wrap" FontWeight="Bold" TextAlignment="Center">
               GIS(IT) makes no warranty, representation or guaranty as to the content, sequence, accuracy, timeliness or completeness of any of the database information provided herein.
            </TextBlock>
            <TextBlock TextWrapping="Wrap" Margin="0,10,0,0">

            </TextBlock>
            <TextBlock TextWrapping="Wrap" Margin="0,10,0,0">

            </TextBlock>
            <TextBlock TextWrapping="Wrap" Margin="0,10,0,0">
               some text
            </TextBlock>
            <TextBlock TextWrapping="Wrap" Margin="0,10,0,0">
               some text
            </TextBlock>
            <TextBlock TextWrapping="Wrap" Margin="0,10,0,0" FontStyle="Italic" FontWeight="Normal" FontStretch="Normal" FontSize="10" Foreground="DarkRed">
               some text
            </TextBlock>
        </StackPanel>
        <Button x:Name="OKButton" Content="OK" Width="75" Height="23" HorizontalAlignment="center" Grid.Row="1" Click="OKButton_Click" />
    </Grid>
</controls:ChildWindow>

In the codebehind...add this

private void OKButton_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
        {
            this.DialogResult = true;
        }
