How can I disable the zoomin function when double clicking on the map?

Question

Hi all,

I just want to use double clicking to close the polygon that I draw, but it seems that silverlight performs zooming in when you double click on the map by default. What can I do to disable this function? Any suggestions? Thank you!! 🙂

That is right, MouseClick event is dependent on MouseLeftButtonDown and MouseLeftButtonUp events and will not fire if MouseLeftButtonDown had been marked handled. Can you use MouseLeftButtonDown event to perform the add instead? In doing so, you can mark the same event handled to prevent zoom on Double click.

Hi Jennifer, I use MouseClick event to add point. If I mark e.handled = true in MouseLeftButtonDown event, this will also prevent the MouseClick event. So sometimes I cannot add point. Both MouseClick and MouseLeftButtonDown events share a same handler. Is there other way that I can prevent zooming/pan functionality? Thank you!:)

If you are using Draw class as in the sample, while Draw.IsEnabled=true you will not be able to navigate the map through pan or zoom.

If you are not using Draw and would like to disable zoom from double click, you can mark MouseLeftButtonDown event as e.Handled=true. This should prevent both pan and zoom.

Thank you Jennifer! I used e.Handled=true to disable the zooming in function. 🙂
