Programmatically Click Map

WilliamKimrey — Tue, 08 Mar 2011 13:51:38 GMT

Hello all,

Just a quick question wondering whether it's possible or not to invoke a Map Click programmatically. If this is possible, can I set a specific coordinate to click on the map, or perhaps where the map is currently centered?

What I'm trying to do is allow a user to add a feature using the Editor tool by setting XY coordinates instead of clicking on the map. I think this will be the easiest way, but if I'm missing something please let me know.

Thanks,
Will

I think your best option for adding a graphic to your map given the X,Y coordinates is by setting Graphic.Geometry property. See this sample: http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapi/silverlight/samples/start.htm#AddGraphics

 MapPoint mapPoint = new MapPoint(X, Y);
 graphicsLayer.Graphics.Add(new Graphic() { Geometry =  mapPoint});
 MyMap.ZoomToResolution(MyMap.Resolution*.5, mapPoint);

You may not be able to use Editor.Add for this purpose: http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapi/silverlight/apiref/ESRI.ArcGIS.Client~ESRI.ArcGIS.Client.Editor~Add.html. Add CommandParameter does not take the geometry, instead you need to pass either symbol or feature type.
