I want to add identify tool in arcgis viewer for silverlight. I did not find it in the template.
Any suggestions would be very helpful.

Are there any plans for ESRI to develop an identify tool that can handle related objects?  When I say related objects, the tool needs to handle several levels of related objects rather than one.  I really do not know why this has not been considered.

The problem with the pop up is with the mouse click.  Other tools use the left mouse click, for instance if you perform a pan, sometimes when you go to pan, the pop up appears when you do not want it to.

There really needs to be an identify manager. . meaning when you click on the icon from the toolbar, a manager comes up and allows you to choose the layer you want to identify.  With the pop-up, they are all enabled depending on what was configured.  In our case, we have over 80 layers configured with the pop-up.  Our users need to be able to see attributes for these features.  End users within my organization are not really happy with the pop up.

Also, I have created a redline tool set that includes editing the graphic.  Editing the graphic requires a left mouse click to select the graphic for editing.  Guess what?. . .when the graphic becomes selected for editing using the left mouse click the pop up will appear unless you are exactly on the right spot of the graphic.  It is a hit and miss.  In other words, there is competition between the pop-up and selecting redline graphics with the left mouse click.  To work around this, I have had to make the graphic editing a right click, then they can go back to the left mouse click to edit the graphic.

I have asked the question before if there are plans for ESRI to develop an identify tool or a manager similar to what was available in the web ADF, but nobody has given me an answer.  Just know, that there is limited configuration with the pop-up and that is frustrating as a developer. 

The thing I do not like is that the pop up is on at all time, meaning that if you have several layers with the pop-up configured, you can be at full extent do a left mouse click on the map and a pop up appears.  This is an annoying behavior.  I would love to give a demo to ESRI to show the behavior I am describing.

Hi Ian,

I have posted many threads asking for very basic tools/functions/behaviour in the Silverlight (viewer) but sounds not to have most of them


For example, till now the Map Scale is not there while we are dealing all he time with maps and we need to know about the scales
