Sketch editor

Is there a way with any of the ArcGIS runtime APIs to configure the sketch shape so as you're drawing the shape follows your cursor and thus previewing what the shape will look like if you drop the next vertex? Specifically when the sketch configuration mode is Polygon? Similar to the behavior when you create a feature in ArcMap, the sketch follows the cursor. Thanks in advance,

Chad

Yup. That's freehand mode: https://developers.arcgis.com/net/latest/wpf/api-reference//html/T_Esri_ArcGISRuntime_UI_SketchCreationMode.htm

Thanks. I was aware of the freehand mode and we'll be using it to be sure. But I think some of our users prefer to point and click to create a polygon so we'll need to use that mode as well. So is it possible currently or are there plans to have the sketch shape follow the cursor as it moves over the map while in the middle of creating a polygon? Thanks,

Chad

Here's an example of a class that extends the sketch editor to support "rubberbanding" behavior.
