how to center at a point before flashing it?

[charlesmillot]

hi all,
I'm trying to use axmapcontrol.centerat and axmapcontrol.flashpoint in a function.
I use flashpoint after the centerat function but it flash the center of the map before moving to the point on which i want to centerat.

 Dim x, y As Double
        Dim bb As Boolean = False
        Dim psymbol As ISymbol
        Dim pfillsymbol As ISimpleMarkerSymbol
        Dim irgbcolor As IRgbColor = New RgbColor
        Dim ppoint As IPoint
        x = CType(TextBox1.Text, Double)
        y = CType(TextBox2.Text, Double)

        ppoint = New ESRI.ArcGIS.Geometry.Point
        ppoint.X = x
        ppoint.Y = y
        ppoint.SpatialReference = axMapControl1.SpatialReference
        irgbcolor.RGB = System.Drawing.Color.Red.ToArgb
        pfillsymbol = New SimpleMarkerSymbol
        pfillsymbol.Style = esriSimpleMarkerStyle.esriSMSDiamond
        pfillsymbol.Color = irgbcolor
        pfillsymbol.Size = 25
        psymbol = CType(pfillsymbol, ISymbol)
        psymbol.ROP2 = esriRasterOpCode.esriROPNotXOrPen

        axMapControl1.CenterAt(ppoint)
        axMapControl1.FlashShape(ppoint, 5, 500, psymbol)

can anyone tell me why i have this result and how to center on the point before flashing it ?

here code in C# to zoom on your element.

will not probably work in your code, but technic is the same.

public static void ZoomIn(IMxDocument _itfMxDocument,
                                  IGeometry _itfGeometrie)
        {
           
            if (_itfGeometrie != null)
            {
                IEnvelope itfEnveloppe = _itfGeometrie.Envelope;
                _itfMxDocument.ActiveView.Extent = itfEnveloppe;
                _itfMxDocument.ActiveView.Refresh();
            }
        }

Esri example is :

Dim dX As Double, dY As Double
dX = 1
dY = 1
Dim pPoint As IPoint
pPoint = New PointClass
pPoint.PutCoords(dX, dY)
AxMapControl1.CenterAt(pPoint)

maybe use PutCoords to add your coordinate in your point objet.

Have you tried calling FlashShape after the screen has finished drawing?  If not you might look into using IMapControlEvents.OnAfterDraw or .OnAfterScreenDraw.

Thanks Jeff

It's a good way to solve my matter.
