Binding a caption text in a mappolygon

[Parker]

I'm attempting to bind a TextBlock in a CaptionTemplate but it's not working.  If I just replace the binding with text it works fine.

Here is the code that does not display the caption:

<telerik:InformationLayer Name="InformationLayerShape" ItemsSource="{Binding LayerShapes}">
<telerik:InformationLayer.ItemTemplate>
  <DataTemplate>
    <views:MapPolygon Points="{Binding Locations}"
      Fill="#99FFFF00"
      StrokeThickness="4"
      Visibility="{Binding Visibility}" CaptionLocation="{Binding CaptionLocation}"
      Opacity=".5">
        <views:WaterMapPolygon.CaptionTemplate>
          <DataTemplate>
            <TextBlock Text="{Binding CaptionText}" />
          </DataTemplate>
        </views:WaterMapPolygon.CaptionTemplate>
     </views:MapPolygon>
  </DataTemplate>
</telerik:InformationLayer.ItemTemplate>
</telerik:InformationLayer>

If I replace  <TextBlock Text="{Binding CaptionText}" />
with  <TextBlock Text="Display this caption." />
the text is displayed.


How do I bind this to a property?

Hello Parker,

Unfortunately the CaptionTemplate does not support binding except of binding to extended data of the map shape.

To show captions in your case I would recommend to add another information layer with the same ItemsSource using a data template which shows captions.

The sample code is below.

<telerik:InformationLayer Name="InformationLayerCaption" ItemsSource="{Binding LayerShapes}">
    <telerik:InformationLayer.ItemTemplate>
        <DataTemplate>
            <TextBlock telerik:MapLayer.Location="{Binding CaptionLocation}" Visibility="{Binding Visibility}" Text="{Binding CaptionText}" />
        </DataTemplate>
    </telerik:InformationLayer.ItemTemplate>
</telerik:InformationLayer>
