Address Locator

BrianMcLeer1 — Thu, 10 Oct 2013 14:59:52 GMT

I am having trouble finding a way to add an address locator bar in Silverlight Viewer similar to the one that is available in Flex Viewer. I know you can use the search feature and type in an address, I am trying to eliminate extra steps by having a single address search bar at the top. Does anyone know of a way to do this? Thanks for your help.

You can add multiple address locators to the Search tool in the SL Viewer 3.1. Tools->Manage->Current Tools->Select Search and configure. It will search multiple locators with a single entry.

Hi Brian:

As Brett points out, the out-of-the-box search tool provides similar functionality to what you're requesting. However, there is the additional inconvenience that you need to click a button to open the search UI. To implement a search box that's embedded in the Viewer's header, you'll need to implement a custom control, then modify the Viewer layouts to include that control. You can find an example of a textbox control exposed in the Viewer header here. The example shows embedding a label that can be configured in the Application Builder, and it only shows including it in one layout. Still, the approach to embedding a custom control in a layout is applicable here.

Hope this helps.
