Selection symbol on GraphicsLayer

Question

Hi

GraphicsLayer has a property SelectionColor. This is the color of the 'halo' around features/graphics of the layer that have IsSelected to true. Is it possible not to have the halo set for the selected features and only manually maintain the selection symbol? I tried setting .SelectionColor = Colors.Transparent; but this produces the halo to be white. Is there any control around the way how this halo is produced?

Thanks

Szymon

As a workaround, you can define SelectionColor in code as following to remove white halos

_graphicsLayer.SelectionColor = Color.FromArgb(0, 0, 0, 0);

It seems that this occurs when you are using GraphicsLayer on Dynamic rendering more. Static rendering mode seems to work. Unfortunately it seems that if you want to use RenderingMode = Dynamic which is default, you will see white halo when using Transparent selection color. As a work around, you can use Static rendering mode if that suits to your use case. I  will log a bug for the dynamic mode.

<esri:GraphicsLayer ID="graphicsLayer" RenderingMode="Static"  SelectionColor="Transparent" />
