Reopened Issue: Wrap VEMap items into VEPushPin to ease databinding scenarios [2238]

JoshB — Fri, 14 Jun 2013 07:08:04 GMT

I have a suggestion though regarding databinding on VEMap ItemsSource. I think it would be nice to wrap the items data bound into VEPushPin much like Treeview vs treeviewItem or ScatterView vs ScatterviewItem. This way we don't have to bind to a VEPushPin collection. I have experienced it a bit and it seems pretty straightforward, the only trick is how to map VEPushPin altitude, longitude, latitude properties.

I have tested with the following changes:

* register VEPushpin's Altitude, Latitude and Longitude DPs as "Attached" DPs,
* on my data item, I bind my alt/lat/lon properties to the VEPushPin attached properties
* override VEMap's GetContainerForItemOverride method in order to return VEPushPin as item container
* update RaiseViewChanged method on VEMap in order to call VEPushPin's UpdatePosition if the item Container is VEPushPin
( if ( o is VEPushPin || this.ItemContainerGenerator.ContainerFromItem(o) is VEPushPin) )
* override VEMap's PrepareContainerForItemOverride method in order to map the VEPushPin Latitude/Longitude properties to the item bound properties throught the Attached DPs:
if (element is VEPushPin && item is DependencyObject)
{
VEPushPin l_pushpin = (VEPushPin)element;
DependencyObject l_item = (DependencyObject)item;

l_pushpin.Latitude = (double)l_item.GetValue(VEPushPin.LatitudeProperty);
l_pushpin.Longitude = (double)l_item.GetValue(VEPushPin.LongitudeProperty);
}

The last thing here is to bind the VEPushPin lat/lon properties to the item (twoway binding).

I just tested it again and I don't get a crash with the scenario I described, but the control doesn't fill up it's parent grid like I expect. Here's the source:

<Window x:Class="VESizeTest.Window1"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:ve="clr-namespace:InfoStrat.VE;assembly=InfoStrat.VE"
Title="Window1" Height="300" Width="400">
<Grid>
<ve:VEMap HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" Width="400"/>
</Grid>
</Window>

You can see the white background of the window on the sides of the map when you'd expect the map to fill the entire window. I also noticed that if I set the height to 300 then the map does fill the entire window.

Reopened Issue: Add event for when camera position changed [2920]

Hi Josh,

Currently I'm making a interactive map for a fortress in the Netherlands, on the MS Surface.
It lets the user acces all kinds of historical information about the buildings and such.
I'm familiar with the VEMap.Altitude property, but how can I check if the VEMap.Altitude is changed, and if it passed a certain value, during a zoom action.

Reopened Issue: Get PushPin.CurrentState generates StackOverFlow [3220]

JoshB — Fri, 14 Jun 2013 07:08:04 GMT

Hi,

Just got a stack overflow. calling:





public VEPushPinState CurrentState
{





get { return CurrentState; }

}

I presume it should be:

return currentState;

Hi

If you make zoom in with your hands quickly the map change its perpective if you see the map in 3D view, indeed you can't change to original view.

Huge thanks

Javier
