Legend Layer IDs

TanyaOwens — Wed, 29 Aug 2012 21:14:53 GMT

Hello,

Currently I have my legend setup showing specific layers with the layer IDs but some of the layers it is difficult to have spaces included because of other parts of my code for example. I have a layer set as SchoolZones to work with some of my code and I would like to to display on the legend as "School Zones". Is there a way to set which layer you want to display with the layer IDs and also include and alias on how to display the layers?

Thanks!

From 3.0, the Layer has a DisplayName property that can be used for that purpose.

With previous versions the workaround is to change the LayerItem Label on event Lgend.Refreshed.

I am using 2.4 right now (I am waiting for the SL Viewer update before I upgrade). Do you happen to have an example of the LayerItem? I am very new to programming so I am not sure on how to do this.

Thanks!

I am thinking about something like:

private void Legend_Refreshed(object sender, Legend.RefreshedEventArgs e) {   if (e.LayerItem.Label == "SchoolZones")     e.LayerItem.Label = "School Zones" }
