Find tool - Zoom to extent

SargentMcDonald — Thu, 27 Oct 2011 00:17:37 GMT

I am using one of our locators in AGX find tool set up in a configuration file. The find tool finds the address fine but zooms to what is a "city" zoom extent on our map instead of down closer to the address or intersection. Is there a way to modify the zoom extent in the find tool? If not, would I have to create an add-in modification that zoomed closer? What are others doing about the find zoom extent being out so far for addresses?
Thanks.

hey...
if its your own add in you need to use ZoomTo Method

http://help.arcgis.com/en/arcgisexplorer/1500/sdk/componenthelp/index.html#/ZoomTo_Method_Geometry_ZoomLevel/000300000p4p000000/

Dim geom as Geometry = here you need your selected row geometry Row.Geometry

http://help.arcgis.com/en/arcgisexplorer/1500/sdk/componenthelp/index.html#/Geometry_Property/00030000073w000000/

and take some ZoomLevel

ZoomTo(geom,16)

hope it helps!

It isn't my add-in, it is the standard find functionality that doesn't zoom close enough.
Thanks.

hi
i dont know if its exactly the some tool like in explorer, but in samples of SDK is a source code of GeoNamesFind tool...

http://help.arcgis.com/en/arcgisexplorer/1500/sdk/conceptualhelp/index.html#/GeoNames_Find/000200000054000000/

inside is Private Sub ZoomTo which is used on some places of code, for example ZoomTo(e.Node)...you can try change it on something like ESRI.ArcGISExplorer.Application.Application.ActiveMapDisplay.ZoomTo((TryCast(node.Tag, Graphic)).Geometry.GetEnvelope(), 15)....15 like Level of zooming, you need to find level which you will like...in VisualStudio

i dont try it but i think it can work..

and you need rebuild the add in VisualStudio

hope it helps

I agree this would be nice to have a default zoom scale setting for zooming to a point... in ArcGIS Explorer AND Desktop! However the best workaround I found (and maybe this is new since you posted) is the option on the home ribbon to Zoom to Street level (or better yet) the Zoom to Scale add-in.. It works pretty well.[ATTACH=CONFIG]13052[/ATTACH]
