Can't have MGRS grid layer and unaccelerated Element Layers

KeithMacIntyre — Fri, 25 Jan 2013 15:29:06 GMT

The MGRS grid lines can only be displayed when the UseAcceleratedDisplay property is true for the entire map. However, if it is set to true, then non accelerated layers such as ElementLayer cannot be added to the map.
It would be nice if the MGRS grid lines were a layer or if the setting could be applied in a different way.

<esri:Map UseAcceleratedDisplay="True" x:Name="MyMap">             <esri:Map.AcceleratedDisplay>                 <esri:AcceleratedDisplaySettings GridType="MGRS"></esri:AcceleratedDisplaySettings>             </esri:Map.AcceleratedDisplay>             <esri:AcceleratedDisplayLayers >                 <esri:ArcGISTiledMapServiceLayer ID="World Topo Map"                       Url="http://services.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/World_Topo_Map/MapServer"/>                 <esri:MessageLayer SymbolDictionaryType="Mil2525C" x:Name="MilitaryLayer" Initialized="MilitaryLayer_Initialized" ></esri:MessageLayer>             </esri:AcceleratedDisplayLayers> <esri:ElementLayer></esri:ElementLayer>         </esri:Map>

Hi,

When using on the AcceleratedDIsplayLayers group, you can specify an MGRS grid as follows:

        <esri:Map UseAcceleratedDisplay="False" x:Name="MyMap">             <esri:AcceleratedDisplayLayers>                 <esri:AcceleratedDisplayLayers.AcceleratedDisplay>                 <esri:AcceleratedDisplaySettings GridType="MGRS"/>                 </esri:AcceleratedDisplayLayers.AcceleratedDisplay>             <esri:ArcGISTiledMapServiceLayer ID="World Topo Map"                       Url="http://services.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/World_Topo_Map/MapServer"/>             <esri:MessageLayer SymbolDictionaryType="Mil2525C" x:Name="MilitaryLayer"></esri:MessageLayer>         </esri:AcceleratedDisplayLayers>             <esri:ElementLayer></esri:ElementLayer>         </esri:Map>

Note that in your example you were enabling the entire map as accelerated AND creating an accelerated group layer.

I'm also keen to hear what you plan to use the ElementLayer for.

Cheers

Mike

Thank you! I tried to do what you suggested before, but must have had something slightly incorrect.
We are still in the planning stages, and needed to know if we would be limited by having the MGRS grid lines on.
