Pan Using Arrow Keys

PaulHuppé — Wed, 06 Apr 2011 12:37:21 GMT

Hi,

I would like to capture the keypress of the keyboard arrows and use those to perform pan operations in the desired key direction. How do I do that?

Map Navigation using KeyDown events is already done for you. You can try this sample: http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapi/silverlight/samples/start.htm#Map. Click on the map to give it focus or wire up to Map.Loaded event and place the following code:

private void MyMap_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
       MyMap.Focus();
}

Notice that the following keys perform navigation (Key.Down/Up/Left/Right/Subtract/Add).

Hi Jennifer,

That is great, I did not know that.

Thanks,
