Zoom to feature - Arcgis Engine

VenkatChakaravarthy — Mon, 27 Aug 2012 01:07:04 GMT

Hi,

I would like to know if there is any way to find what's the closest zoom level available for a map when geosearching an address.

Setting the zoom level to a static number works fine in most cases, but sometimes the map is blurry.

Thank you.

I assume you're using cached services from ArcGIS server.

Best thing to do is to save the cache levels to an array and the zoom to the closest one.

Hi David,

Is there any code reference that I can refer to.

Thanks.

I wrote a sample app for a customer and this the part with black magic 😄

        void axMapControl1_OnExtentUpdated(object sender, ESRI.ArcGIS.Controls.IMapControlEvents2_OnExtentUpdatedEvent e)
        {
            if (oldScale != m_mapControl.MapScale)
            {
                // Fill with cached map scales
                double[] cachedScales = new double[] { 1500, 15000, 55000, 125000, 350000, 750000, 1500000, 3500000, 13000000, 60000000 };
                double newScale = cachedScales[cachedScales.Length-1];
                // Scale changed!
                // Scale to the closest scale level of cached map service
                for (int i = 1; i<cachedScales.Length; i++) {
                    if (cachedScales >= m_mapControl.MapScale)
                    {
                        if (Math.Abs(cachedScales[i - 1] - m_mapControl.MapScale) <= Math.Abs(cachedScales - m_mapControl.MapScale))
                        {
                            newScale = cachedScales[i - 1];
                        }
                        else {
                            newScale = cachedScales;
                        }

                        break;
                    }
                }

                oldScale = newScale;
                m_mapControl.MapScale = newScale;
                m_mapControl.ActiveView.Refresh();
                oldScale = m_mapControl.MapScale;
                
            }
        }
