Mouse Coords Addin not working

CMICNRE — Fri, 20 Jul 2012 15:47:06 GMT

I'm trying to convert the an Interactive SDK mouse coordinates sample to a Viewer Addin, and I want to control the coordinates panel with a toolbar button. My tool opens the window and shows the usercontrol, but the coordinates are blank. I'm not sure if I have the map binding wrong or the MouseMouse event isn't firing. I'm new to Silverlight and normally code in VB, so any help is appreciated.

Here is my UserControl MouseCoords.xaml:

Ok, so I added an event handler to the usercontrol xaml,

<Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot" Background="White" MouseMove="MyMap_MouseMove">

and now the coordinates are showing up when I move the mouse over the usercontrol panel. How do I get coordinates from anywhere in the map? I tried args.getPosition(null);, but that didn't work either.

Laura,

I was able to display the mouse coordinates using a Behavior. I implemented a behavior because I always want the coordinates to display and do not want to turn them off.

First I added to the xaml of the Layout I am using the following:

<Grid Width="355" Height="65" HorizontalAlignment="Right" VerticalAlignment="Top" Margin="0,50,15,0" >             <Rectangle Stroke="Gray"  RadiusX="10" RadiusY="10" Fill="#77919191" Margin="0,0,0,6" >                 <Rectangle.Effect>                     <DropShadowEffect/>                 </Rectangle.Effect>             </Rectangle>             <Rectangle Fill="#FFFFFFFF" Stroke="DarkGray" RadiusX="5" RadiusY="5" Margin="10,10,10,15"  />             <StackPanel Canvas.Left="20" Canvas.Top="14" Margin="20,14,10,0">                                 <TextBlock x:Name="MapCoordsTextBlock"                      HorizontalAlignment="Left" VerticalAlignment="Center" Text="Map Coords: " TextWrapping="Wrap" FontWeight="Bold" />             </StackPanel>         </Grid>

Then I attached the event handler within the Behavior.cs code:

this.AssociatedObject.MouseMove +=new MouseEventHandler(AssociatedObject_MouseMove);

Defined the event hanlder to display coordinates in textbloxk control:

 private void AssociatedObject_MouseMove(object sender, System.Windows.Input.MouseEventArgs args)         {             if (this.AssociatedObject != null)             {                 System.Windows.Point screenPoint = args.GetPosition(MapApplication.Current.Map);                 ESRI.ArcGIS.Client.Geometry.MapPoint mapPoint = MapApplication.Current.Map.ScreenToMap(screenPoint);                 TextBlock tb = MapApplication.Current.FindObjectInLayout("MapCoordsTextBlock") as TextBlock;                 tb.Text = string.Format("Map Coords: X = {0}, Y = {1}",                     Math.Round(mapPoint.X, 4), Math.Round(mapPoint.Y, 4));             }         }

Hope this helps for you and others.

Scott

Hi Scott,

I am doing something similar to what you have described and I have used your code as a starting point so thanks for that.
I was wondering how you are displaying the Map Coords text block in the map web part?
The only way I know of is to display it in a dialog box but as you can see in the screenshot attached this isn't ideal.

Thanks for any help,
Anthony

Nevermind, I figured it out, you just add it as a child to the correct container.

Scott,
Thanks for your help with the behavior, I was able to get that working with your code.

Here is how I worked out my Show Map Coordinates behavior. The coordinates are displayed in a TextBlock object in the layout. If the spatial reference is Web Mercator, then the coordinates are converted to Lat/Long. If the user holds down the left mouse button and drags the map, I attempted update the coordinates with an map ExtentChanging event handler (saw this in another post in Silverlight API forum.

Here is the coordinates textblock xaml:


<Grid Width="566" Height="35" VerticalAlignment="Bottom" Margin="5,10,5,5" d:LayoutOverrides="GridBox">
            <TextBlock x:Name="Coordinates" Visibility="Visible" HorizontalAlignment="Left" VerticalAlignment="Center" Text="Map Coordinates: " TextWrapping="Wrap" FontWeight="Normal" FontSize="9.333" />
</Grid>

Here is the behavior class MapCoordsBehavior.cs:
