Using standard apperance of SimpeFillSymbol

JohanCarlsson

Hi!

I'm loading objects in a shape file and looping through them, adding them to the map with this FillSymbol:

            ESRI.ArcGIS.Client.Symbols.SimpleFillSymbol ImportFillSymbol = new ESRI.ArcGIS.Client.Symbols.SimpleFillSymbol();             ImportFillSymbol.Fill = new System.Windows.Media.SolidColorBrush(System.Windows.Media.Color.FromArgb(255, 128, 0, 255));             ImportFillSymbol.BorderBrush = new System.Windows.Media.SolidColorBrush(System.Windows.Media.Color.FromArgb(255, 79, 0, 157));             ImportFillSymbol.BorderThickness = 1;

Everything works fine except that selected items don't have a separate FillSymbol for selection so you can't see which objects you've selected. If I go into the default "Configure Layer" and change the symbology to one of the standard FillSymbols, the selection works fine. So my question is simple:

Is there a a way of accessing these standard FillSymbols? Simply something like this:

SimpleFillSymbol ImportFillSymbol = AlreadyDefinedFillSymbol.Red

Thanks for your time.

Are you using the ArcGIS Viewer for the Silverlight?  If so, this is foreign territory for me.  You might want to post over in that forum.

Can you access the event handlers of your graphics layer?  If so you can handle something like the MouseEnter event and change the symbology.  Then swap it back on the MouseLeave event.  I didn't try MouseLeave, but here's some code for MouseEnter (sorry, VB...)

 Private Sub GraphicsLayer_MouseEnter(sender As System.Object, e As ESRI.ArcGIS.Client.GraphicMouseEventArgs)         Dim gr As New Graphic         gr = e.Graphic         Dim sy As New SimpleFillSymbol         sy.Fill = New Media.SolidColorBrush(Media.Color.FromArgb(128, 254, 0, 0))         gr.Symbol = sy       End Sub
