Adding MeasureAction behavior funtionality to editor/templatepicker

[JaredWhite]

Hi,
Just wondering if it's been done before and if not, does any one have any suggestions on how to do it?

You can customize the look and feel of EditorWidget and/or TemplatePicker by following the steps in this blog post: http://blogs.esri.com/esri/arcgis/2010/05/28/localizing-arcgis-controls/. After you've created the style, you can add a button to the style that will have MeasureAction as seen in this SDK sample: http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapi/silverlight/samples/start.htm#UtilityActions

Hi Jennifer,
Thanks as always for the quick answer. That was the route i was trying, but I'm not seeing a way to measure what I am drawing with the template picker as I am drawing it. If someone draws a line or polygon with the template picker, i need the measureaction to kick in so they can see it's measurements as they draw it. Other wise i could just add a measurement tool alongside my template picker and call it a day.
