Reposition popup

JustinTrody — Fri, 09 May 2025 17:42:49 GMT

Hi, I am using the following wpf to create a popup when clicking on feature on map. The popup sometimes displays outside of the view window.

I would like to display the popup always in the centre of the map screen.

Any ideas??

<esri:MapView.Overlays>

<esri:OverlayItemsControl>

<Grid x:Name="popup" Visibility="Visible"

esri:MapView.ViewOverlayAnchor="{Binding Geometry}"

IsHitTestVisible="False" HorizontalAlignment="Right" VerticalAlignment="Top" MaxWidth="200">

<Grid.RowDefinitions>

</Grid.RowDefinitions>

<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>

</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>

</Border>

</Grid>

</esri:OverlayItemsControl>

</esri:MapView.Overlays>

Have you considered using the ShowCalloutAt method instead? This will host your UI element and move it around to keep it on top of the map.

A more advanced method would be to create a custom control yourself to host your content, and have that implement IViewOverlay interface, which will give you the information needed to re-arrange the view yourself (this is also what the callout uses to do this).
