How to Use PushPin Class?

[Moises Casusol]

Hi,

   Rad Map is awesome! nice job!. How i can use the PushPin class to add a pin with double click. I was trying something like:

private void RadMap1_MapMouseDoubleClick(object sender, MapMouseRoutedEventArgs e)
        {
            e.Handled = true;

            // The location to place the pushpin at on the map.
            Telerik.Windows.Controls.Map.VEImageryService.Location pinLocation = new Telerik.Windows.Controls.Map.VEImageryService.Location();
            pinLocation.Latitude = e.Location.Latitude;
            pinLocation.Longitude = e.Location.Longitude;

            // The pushpin to add to the map.
            Pushpin pin = new Pushpin();
            pin.Location = pinLocation;

            // Adds the pushpin to the map.
            PinLayer.Items.Add(pin);

        }

But i had an exception with "UIElement not supported".

Best Regards,

Hello Moises Casusol,

The information layer does not support UI elements. It supports FrameworkElement class instances.
You can change your Pushpin class to inherit from FrameworkElement. To set location you should use the attached MapLayer.Location property.
The example code is below.

private void RadMap1_MapMouseDoubleClick(object sender, MapMouseRoutedEventArgs e)
{
    // The pushpin to add to the map.
    Pushpin pin = new Pushpin();

    MapLayer.SetLocation(pin, e.Location);

    // Adds the element to the map.
    PinLayer.Items.Add(pin);
}

This will become more useful in the 2010.Q1 beta that should be available next week. It will support binding to ItemsSourceProperty of the information layer.

Kind regards,

Hi,

   Thanks for the answer, but the PushPin class is not mine :(, it is your class in Telerik.Windows.Controls.Map.VEImageryService namespace, i was just trying to use it.

Hello Moises Casusol,

Unfortunately the information layer does not support this Pushpin class.
Of course as workaround you can create your own class that will inherit from FrameworkElement, but the 2010.Q1 beta will contain the Pushpin class in the Telerik.Windows.Controls.Map namespace which you can use instead of the Pushpin from VEImageryService.
