How to turn off MapCommandBar

[ewart]

I don't want to display it.  I'd like to set

RadMap1.MapCommandBar.Visibility = System.Windows.

 

Visibility.Collapsed;

 

 

 

would have thought this should work inside the InitializeCompleted but it doesn't.  Where should I be doing it from?

 

 

 

private void RadMap1_InitializeCompleted(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
}

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks
Ewart.

Hello Ewart,

Thank you for the feedback.
The MapCommandBar could not be turned off separately in the RadMap CTP version. It will be available in the 2010 Q1 release. Also the MapCommandBar will be inaccessible from a code as well as others built-in controls since Q1.
Currently the RadMap control has only UseDefaultLayout property to turning on/off all UI controls (Command bar, Navigation and Scale). The standard way to show map control without the MapCommandBar is to setting the UseDefaultLayout to False and to add necessary map controls directly.
The sample XAML and C# code are below.
 

<Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot">
    <map:RadMap Name="RadMap1"
                ...
                UseDefaultLayout="False">
                ...
    </map:RadMap>
    <Grid>
        <Grid.RowDefinitions>
            <RowDefinition Height="4*" MinHeight="150" />
            <RowDefinition Height="5*" />
        </Grid.RowDefinitions>
    <maps:MapNavigation Name="customNavigation"
                        Width="100"
                        Margin="0,0,10,0"
                        VerticalAlignment="Stretch"
                        HorizontalAlignment="Left"/>
    <maps:MapScale Name="customScale"
                   Grid.Row="1"
                   Height="20"
                   Margin="0,0,20,20"
                   DistanceUnit="Mile"
                   VerticalAlignment="Bottom"
                   HorizontalAlignment="Right"/>
    </Grid>
</Grid>

private void RadMap1_InitializeCompleted(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    this.InitializeMapControls();

    ...
}

private void InitializeMapControls()
{
    this.customNavigation.MapControl = this.RadMap1;
    this.customNavigation.Visibility = Visibility.Visible;

    this.customScale.MapControl = this.RadMap1;
    this.customScale.Visibility = Visibility.Visible;
}

has this changed in the Q1 2010 beta ?  I find in the code below the InitializeCompleted never fires and my map doesn't load at all.

                        VerticalAlignment="Stretch"
                        HorizontalAlignment="Left"/>
            <maps:MapScale Name="customScale"
                   Grid.Row="1"
                   Height="20"
                   Margin="0,0,20,20"
                   DistanceUnit="Mile"
                   VerticalAlignment="Bottom"
                   HorizontalAlignment="Right"/>
        </Grid>

    </Grid>
</UserControl>

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Net;
using System.Windows;
using System.Windows.Controls;
using System.Windows.Documents;
using System.Windows.Input;
using System.Windows.Media;
using System.Windows.Media.Animation;
using System.Windows.Shapes;

namespace Mapper.UI
{
    public partial class TestPage : UserControl
    {
        public TestPage()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }

        private void RadMap1_InitializeCompleted(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            this.InitializeMapControls();
        }

        private void InitializeMapControls()
        {
            this.customNavigation.MapControl = this.RadMap1;
            this.customNavigation.Visibility = Visibility.Visible;

            this.customScale.MapControl = this.RadMap1;
            this.customScale.Visibility = Visibility.Visible;
        }

    }
}

if I remove the UseDefaultLayout="False" then the map tries to load.   basically I need the best way (for Q1 2001 beta) of

1. hiding the mapcommandbar completely - is  "

radMap.MapCommandBarVisibility = System.Windows.

 

Visibility.Collapsed;" the easiest and best way? seems to work.

 

2. move the position of the scale.  not sure on this one.

Hi ewart,

I could not find the place where the map provider  is set for the map control. If you don’t do it then map control will never be initialized and you control’s will not be visible. I’ve extended your code a bit with initialization of the map provider and all things works just fine:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Net;
using System.Windows;
using System.Windows.Controls;
using System.Windows.Documents;
using System.Windows.Input;
using System.Windows.Media;
using System.Windows.Media.Animation;
using System.Windows.Shapes;

namespace Mapper.UI
{
    public partial class TestPage : UserControl
    {

        public TestPage()
        {
            InitializeComponent();

            this.Loaded += new RoutedEventHandler(TestPage_Loaded);
        }

        private void TestPage_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
        {
            BingMapProvider provider = new BingMapProvider(MapMode.Aerial, true, "Your_Bing_Application_ID");
            this.RadMap1.Provider = provider;
        }

        private void RadMap1_InitializeCompleted(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            this.InitializeMapControls();
        }

        private void InitializeMapControls()
        {
            this.customNavigation.MapControl = this.radMap;
            this.customNavigation.Visibility = Visibility.Visible;

            this.customScale.MapControl = this.radMap;
            this.customScale.Visibility = Visibility.Visible;
            this.customScale.InvalidateMeasure();
        }
    }
}
