MapEllipse or HotSpot?

[Mrn]

Hello,

I want to be able to get latitude and longitude values when clicking any point on the map, and to show an ellipse around the point that has been clicked. I could not make clear how can I achieve this reading the documentation, since I need to work with latitude and longitude values and I managed to do that with a MapEllipse but it is not centered on the point and, as I read, HotSpots do not make use of a location, could anybody what can I do to achieve what I am trying to do? I'd also say that I am doing all of this in code-behind.

Thanks!

Hello Mrn,

The HotSpot doesn't work for map shapeobjects. You can use MapPath with MapEllipseGeometry instead of MapEllipse. MapEllipseGeometry uses its center as object location. For example:

private void AddEllipse(Location location)
{
    MapEllipseGeometry geometry = new MapEllipseGeometry()
    {
        Center = location,
        RadiusY = 100,      // Miles or kilometers
        RadiusX = 100       // Miles or kilometers
    };

    MapPath path = new MapPath()
    {
        Fill = new SolidColorBrush(Colors.Blue),
        Data = geometry
    };

    this.informationLayer.Items.Add(path);
}

All the best,
