Removing magnify glass when using touch + draw mode

IdoFlatow — Sun, 07 Nov 2010 11:14:10 GMT

Hi,

I'm using a draw object in my WPF map and I noticed that when I use a touch screen when drawing freehand, there's a magnify glass, which doesn't appear when drawing with the mouse.

Is there anyway to remove it when using touch? a property to hide this magnifying glass?

Thanks,
Ido.

There's no way to turn off this feature at the moment. But I'll share this with our lead developer for consideration.

Hi there,

I've just spotted this feature and wondered the opposite of Ido - is there a way to use this feature in other situations when using touch?

I had a look at using the MagnifyingGlass control to mimic this, but was having problems repositioning it without changing the part of the map that it shows.

You can disable the magnifier like this in v2.2:
<esri:Map esri:Editor.IsTouchMagnifierEnabled="False" />

There isn't a way currently to get the magnifier in other cases. It would require custom code to do this.
Note that the Draw class also has the magnifer, so you might be able to use that class instead.

Thanks Morten - I'll have a look at that
