Hi, The WPF Map control overview mentions that you can use FlashGeometry(...) to highlight items in the map, but the FlashGeometry method does not appear to exist in the WPF Map control's members, unless I'm missing something.
FlashGeometry does exist for the Windows Forms version of the Map control (ESRI.ArcGIS.Mobile.Map), but it seems to have been left off the WPF control, unless there's some other way to handle this in WPF.
If anyone has any insight into this or how to workaround it, I would appreciate any help!
You are correct- that is missing. I have noticed that a lot of the help docs for WPF look to be cut out of WinForms 9.3.1 docs and not updated to reflect the differences. Stumbled across thsi numerous times. If you want to do it- here is what I suggest. Create a gif or png image that mimics the flashing. Then create a user control that is just this image and extends IMapGraphicLayer. Build in some code to handle input of a coordinate and converting to screen position. Then when want to show the flash use add a graphic layer to map that takes your user control and set the coordinate. Map control is really just a WPF canvas. So you can manipulate it by adding in user controls through graphic layers- which are also just WPF canvas controls. Good luck
Hi there - could you please post some sample code? I have an application running off Mobile3.0 and would like to flash (or Highlight) some selected geometry, but can't do it in Mobile 3.0 as FlashGeometry has been removed?
