Custom MapPinPoints

[Esther]

Hello,
I´ve some PinPoints that are represented by a png image. I´d like to draw a number in the middle of the image. If I use the property Text of the MapPinPoint the text is drawn on the right side of the image.
Is there any simple way of doing that?
Thank you very much,
Esther

Hello Esther,

You can create your own template for the MapPinPoint control. For example:

<Style TargetType="telerik:MapPinPoint">
    <Setter Property="Template">
        <Setter.Value>
            <ControlTemplate TargetType="telerik:MapPinPoint">
                <Border Background="{TemplateBinding Background}"
                        BorderBrush="{TemplateBinding BorderBrush}"
                        BorderThickness="1"
                        CornerRadius="3"
                        Padding="2,2,2,2">
                    <Grid Name="PART_Panel">
                        <Image Name="PART_Image"
                               Stretch="None"
                               Source="{TemplateBinding ImageSource}"
                               Width="32"
                               Height="32" />
                        <TextBlock Name="PART_Text"
                               VerticalAlignment="Center"
                               HorizontalAlignment="Center"
                               Text="{TemplateBinding Text}" />
                    </Grid>
                </Border>
            </ControlTemplate>
        </Setter.Value>
    </Setter>
</Style>

I hope this helps.

Thank you,
But, where do I have to declare exactly that custom style? in another file? in the map xaml?
And then, How do I assign this style to the PinPoints I want?
Thanks again,
Esther

Hi Esther,

Like any other styles in WPF this one can be declared in many different places in your application: App.xaml, XAML wich uses RadMap, external resource dictionary and so on. When the style is defined without x:Key attribute it is applied to all controls of this type authomatically.
