custom maptip

[SteveLi]

There is sample on maptip with custom content:

xaml:

<esri:GraphicsLayer>
  <esri:GraphicsLayer.MapTip>
    <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" Background="White">
      <TextBlock Text="Feature ID:" />
      <TextBlock Text="{Binding}" />
    </StackPanel>
  </esri:GraphicsLayer.MapTip>
<esri:GraphicsLayer>

My issue is I am adding my graphics layers dynamically in code.  How do I achieve the same in my code?

Thanks very much.

You can place any XAML-code in a UserControl and use it as your map tip.

For example, in MyMapTip.xaml

 <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
  <TextBlock Text="ID: " />
  <TextBlock Text="{Binding [ObjectID]}" />
 </StackPanel>

You can then have the following code:

GraphicsLayer layer = new GraphicsLayer();
layer.MapTip = new MyMapTip();
MyMap.Layers.Add(layer);

Graphic graphic = new Graphic() 
{
 Geometry = new MapPoint(-140.9, 63.391),
 Symbol = this.LayoutRoot.Resources["RedMarkerSymbol"] as Symbol 
};
graphic.Attributes["ObjectID"] = 1234;
layer.Graphics.Add(graphic);

Thanks very much for all the answers.  I figured it out based on your solutions.

};
graphic.Attributes["ObjectID"] = 1234;
layer.Graphics.Add(graphic);

I tried this and it works great, but I cannot use the GraphicsLayer.MapTipHideDelay attribute. Well, actually, I can use it; it just doesn't do what I want.

I figured it out...you need to set it at the UserControl element of the MapTipControl.xaml
