New Post: Adding Other silverlight Elements Adjacent to MAP

jbienz — Thu, 12 Mar 2009 19:47:02 GMT

You'll need to look at the demo that comes with VIEWS. There is an example of showing a Silverlight popup over the Virtual Earth control. The Virtual Earth control is not done in Silverlight today, it's done in the browser. You'll need to float UI over the top of the Virtual Earth control. The SLPopup shows how to do it.

On a side note, please try to watch the keynote at Mix this week (www.visitmix.com).

New Post: How to add a pushpin to the map? (problem getting LatLong-values)

jbienz — Thu, 05 Mar 2009 02:40:12 GMT

The LatLong isn't always supplied. This is the case in JavaScript as well. The trick is to use the pixel coordinates to get a LatLong:

private

void map_MouseUp(object sender, VEMapEventArgs e)

{

// Get a VE LatLong from the map coordinates

VELatLong latLong = map.PixelToLatLong(new VEPixel(e.MapX, e.MapY));

// Do something with the LatLong
}

wio — Mon, 02 Mar 2009 23:58:00 GMT

I've been trying out things with VIEWS and one problem is bothering me. How can I add a pin on to the map to the exact spot where my cursor 
is pointing? VEMapEventArgs is not giving me LatLong values which I would need. It's failing to give me it, VEMapEventArgs.LatLong.Latitude
is not returning anything. I debugged it and the result is a null reference.

Do you have any idea how to get that info needed to creating a pushpin to the cursor spot in the map? Thank you for any help.

New Post: About VB.NET AttachEvent()

ngzidane — Sun, 28 Dec 2008 06:01:09 GMT

Hi all,

Can someone teach me how to use VEMap.AttachEvent in VB? Because i'm quite new to this open source API.

Example:
JScript is map.AttachEvent("onendzoom",EndZoomHandler);
function EndZoomHandler(e) {
var z = map.GetZoomLevel(); document.getElementById('resultDiv').innerHTML="Map stopped zooming.<br>Current zoom level= "+z;
}

How do i change it to VB? Is there any tutorial or sample code in VB provided? Please reply. Thank you=)

New Post: Addressing 6.2 Changes

jaredbienz — Tue, 11 Nov 2008 20:00:26 GMT

When we originally wrapped Virtual Earth we made our own version of VEMap.LoadMap that didn't follow its JavaScript signature exactly. The JavaScript version had 7 parameters, all of which were optional, and this is uncommon in C#. So we created a method that took the 3 most common parameters and added our own structure (LoadMapOptions) to handle the other less commonly used and optional parameters.

Now in 6.2, the Virtual Earth team has done something similar for new features by adding them to a VEMapOptions class. The LoadMap method still accepts all 7 original parameters, but now you can also pass an 8th optional parameter of type VEMapOptions. VEMapOptions adds four new settings and future additions are likely to be placed there.

The question is, how do you think we should resolve this? I see three different ways:

Make the C# signature match the JavaScript signature exactly and get rid of MapLoadOptions (VIEWS).
1. - This will break existing VIEWS applications
2. - This will go against .Net coding guidelines and may seem 'strange' to native .Net developers
3. - Parameters cannot be optional in C# so many overrides will have to be defined

Merge the MapOptions (VE) and MapLoadOptions (VIEWS) classes
1. + This will not break existing VIEWS applications
2. - This will not be as intuitive to maintain because the class will be a mixture of JavaScript wrapped code and code that's used only within VIEWS
3. - This can become confusing to end users because this class won't map directly to a Virtual Earth object (whereas the rest of the code either maps or it doesn't - there is no mixing)

Add a MapOptions (VE) property to the existing MapLoadOptions (VIEWS) structure
1. + This will not break any existing VIEWS applications
2. + It's is easy to implement
3. - It could be confusing having a MapLoadOptions.MapOptions property

What are your thoughts?

New Post: Working with Events of Popup XAML

fenggu — Tue, 28 Oct 2008 21:31:56 GMT

This is a bug.
It will trigger a mouse event which will cause exception "Operation is not valid due to the current state of the object".
You can avoid this by comment out the following in the method "HidePopup()"

elem.SetStyleAttribute("visibility", "hidden");

New Post: Working with Events of Popup XAML

maidrees — Thu, 21 Aug 2008 14:31:53 GMT

thanks Jared for the reply,

I used the basic available code and worked on the same.
To reproduce the same,
Just click(right click / left click) on the popup window. (even if the button is not available)
Comeback to the map and click any other pin, you will face the unknown exception

I am going to add the same repro steps in the issue tracker as well.

Thanks

I believe this is the same issue as you're discussing in this thread: [discussion:32840]. Is that correct?

Just looking at the short code snippet I'd be careful that you're not trying to add btnx to the stack panel more than once. That seems to happen on every button click and I don't see where it gets removed. You can always tell Visual Studio to catch exceptions the moment they are thrown and this may keep the exception from bubbling up into JavaScript.

Again, if this is truly an issue with VIEWS you can open an issue in the issue tracker and attach sample code and steps to reproduce.

Regards,

Jared Bienz

It's kinda hard for me to follow what you're describing since I've not seen this behavior. If you'd like to open up a bug report and attach sample code and steps to reproduce we can look at it. Please do this through the issue tracker and we'll see what we can do.

Thanks Mohammed,

New Post: Silverlight Popup Display

maidrees — Thu, 21 Aug 2008 07:34:58 GMT

Thanks Jared. I got the pin and on click of the pin, the popup is being displayed.

But the potential problem that I saw with the popup is that clicking (right click / left click) on the popup actually paralysing the functionality of the map_click method. clicking again on any other pin gives the unkown exception error at silverlightPopup.content.popup.HidePopup(); of popup.js file.

Hence this is not allowing us to add any button on the popup and its corresponding funcationality

However, I appreciate if you please suggest me the way to implement the same(adding buttons in popup and performing action. Coming back to the map and clicking on the pin should work fine which is right now not happening).

Thanks

New Post: Silverlight Popup Display

The popup is displayed when you click on a push pin. You must have a push pin to click by looking up an address or business.

New Post: Working with Events of Popup XAML

maidrees — Wed, 20 Aug 2008 05:06:43 GMT

Hi, Can anyone please guide as how we can have the buttons and its managed events in silverlight popup display.

I am trying to use popup.cs file(ShowPopup method) to add new button and its event('Click'). This is working fine for only one pushpin click. Once I come back to the map and click another pushpin to see its popup. I am getting an exception.

The code I added in the ShowPopup Method of popup.cs file is
Button btnx = new Button();
                btnx.Click += new RoutedEventHandler(btnx_Click);
                btnx.Content = "Display Map after the click";
                pg.stackPanel.Width = 800;
                pg.stackPanel.Height = 640;
                pg.stackPanel.Children.Add(btnx);

The error I am getting once I click on any other pushpin after coming back from popup is
"unknown exception" at silverlightPopup.content.popup.ShowPopup(this); in popup.js.

Can anyone please suggest me the ways as how we can have the buttons in popup and its associated managed events.

Thanks in anticipation

Thanks Jared. I got the solution to display the Silverlight Popup on OnClick event of the shapes.

My current scenario is to have the silverlight button in the popup xaml content and add the events to the button using managed code.

Thanks in anticipation well in advance.

Thanks Jared for redirecting me to the right place to have another discussion regarding the popup display.

However, I am not yet clear as how we can call the managed code method as event from shape Description Popup links.
