Trouble with maptip

DonFreeman — Fri, 30 Apr 2010 20:16:21 GMT

Hi. I am experimenting with the maptip code shown in the example at http://resources.esri.com/help/9.3/arcgisserver/apis/silverlight/samples/start.htm#MapTipWidget. I copied the code pretty much intact to my page and it worked OK. However when I changed the map URL and querytask to my map, it no longer works. The code involved does not trigger. Can someone tell me what is supposed to trigger the mouseover or mouseclick event to produce the maptip? Also, what does the 5 represent in the querytask url http://sampleserver1.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/" & "Demographics/ESRI_Census_USA/MapServer/5? I assume that is layer #5 but is that correct?

Thanks

You are right the '5' represents the layer ID.

The mouse over and mouse click events to produce maptips are managed by the maptip widget, so you don't have to worry about that.

After changing the Url, do you get some features displayed in your graphic layer?

Thanks dbroux. Actually I don't. After looking at it some more I decided to try a little different approach and instead of replacing the URL I just added another layer with appropriate changes. The new layer should show school districts somewhat analogous to the states but it shows nothing. My xaml and code behind is below.

<esri:GraphicsLayer ID="SchoolsGraphicsLayer" Initialized="SchoolsGraphicsLayer_Initialized" >
     <esri:GraphicsLayer.MapTip>
      <Border esri:GraphicsLayer.MapTipHideDelay="00:00:01.5" CornerRadius="10" BorderBrush="#FF222957" BorderThickness="3" Margin="0,0,15,15">

         <GradientStop Color="#FF092959" Offset="0.946"/>
        </LinearGradientBrush>
       </Border.Background>

        </StackPanel>
       </StackPanel>
      </Border>
     </esri:GraphicsLayer.MapTip>
    </esri:GraphicsLayer>

   Dim query As New ESRI.ArcGIS.Client.Tasks.Query() With {.Geometry = New ESRI.ArcGIS.Client.Geometry.Envelope(-180, 0, 0, 90)}

   Dim graphicsLayer As ESRI.ArcGIS.Client.GraphicsLayer = TryCast(MyMap.Layers("SchoolsGraphicsLayer"), ESRI.ArcGIS.Client.GraphicsLayer)

   If resultFeatureSet IsNot Nothing AndAlso resultFeatureSet.Features.Count > 0 Then
    For Each graphicFeature As ESRI.ArcGIS.Client.Graphic In resultFeatureSet.Features
     graphicFeature.Symbol = DefaultFillSymbol
     graphicsLayer.Graphics.Add(graphicFeature)
    Next graphicFeature
