[Solved] Faster way to access updated data after zoom

[Nick]

Hi there,

I am trying to zoom to a specific MapPolygon, in order to determine to zoom in or out, I need to access the MapPolygon's ScreenBounds property. The problem is that this does not seem to update untill the ZoomingFinished event triggers (which is about 1500ms). If you need to zoom 4-5 levels, this just takes too long. Is there a different (faster) way to determine the ScreenBounds of a MapPolygon after changing the Zoom Level?

Thanks in Advance.

It isn't that gracefull, but it does the trick... Disabling Spring Animations while adjusting zoom certainly speeds things up.

Hello Nick,

I am afraid there is no way to get screen bounds of the map shape before zooming is finished. During zooming with spring animation coordinate system is changing continuously, so any calculation would not give the correct result. Fortunately you would not need to use screen coordinates to zoom in to the specific map polygon. It is enough to have its geographic locations. You can use following code to zoom in to the specific map polygon:

LocationRect rect = polygon.GeographicalBounds;
this.radMap.SetView(rect);
