Map Culture/provider commands

[figueiredorj]

Hi.

I am starting to work with silvelight in a map application.

One of my concerns is about localization/culture; after playing around a bit with map control I am missing how to set culture on map control.

It takes me to another point since I have done in past one other app with bing maps - how can i use commands from provider? I had look a bit on "provider comands" but not sure on how to use it. To me it would be something like this

MapProviderBase provider = InitializeBingMapProvider(MapMode.Road, true);
provider.Commands.Add(new CommandDescription() { ... } );

However in Command description I am missing on how to declare, for this example, "Culture" where param would be something like "PT-pt".

Can someone point me the light?
Thanks

Hello Ricardo,

Could you, please elaborate a bit more on what kind of localization you are asking for? Do you mean localization of the UI controls or do you mean localization of the labels are visible on the Bing map tiles?

You can add custom command to the provider as following:

<UserControl x:Class="CustomCommand.MainPage"
     xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
     xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
     xmlns:telerik="http://schemas.telerik.com/2008/xaml/presentation"
     xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"
     xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
     mc:Ignorable="d"
     d:DesignHeight="300" d:DesignWidth="400">

    <UserControl.Resources>
        <DataTemplate x:Key="ButtonTemplate">
            <telerik:RadButton Command="{Binding Command}"
                   CommandParameter="{Binding CommandParameter}">
                <Grid HorizontalAlignment="Stretch">
                    <Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
                        <ColumnDefinition />
                        <ColumnDefinition Width="32" />
                    </Grid.ColumnDefinitions>

                    <TextBlock Text="My command"
                           TextAlignment="Center"
                           HorizontalAlignment="Stretch"
                           Padding="7,0"
                           FontSize="11"
                           FontWeight="Bold" />
                </Grid>
            </telerik:RadButton>
        </DataTemplate>
    </UserControl.Resources>

    <Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot" Background="White">
        <telerik:RadMap x:Name="radMap"
            Center="37.7,2.2"
            ZoomLevel="8">
            <telerik:RadMap.Provider>
                <telerik:BingMapProvider Mode="Aerial"
                     IsLabelVisible="True"
                     ApplicationId="You_Bing_Application_Id" />
            </telerik:RadMap.Provider>
        </telerik:RadMap>

    </Grid>
</UserControl>

using System;
using System.Windows;
using System.Windows.Controls;
using Telerik.Windows.Controls;
using Telerik.Windows.Controls.Map;

namespace CustomCommand
{
    public partial class MainPage : UserControl
    {
        public MainPage()
        {
            InitializeComponent();

            CommandDescription commandDescription = new CommandDescription()
            {
                Command = new DelegateCommand(ExecuteCommand),
                CommandParameter = "test",
                DataTemplate = this.Resources["ButtonTemplate"] as DataTemplate
            };

            this.radMap.Provider.Commands.Add(commandDescription);
        }

        private void ExecuteCommand(object parameter)
        {
            MessageBox.Show(string.Format("My command: {0}", parameter));
        }
    }
}

Actually I was asking for localization of the map itself.

However I have already find out that the culture PT-pt is unavailable with bing provider.
Bad Luck...

But thanks on answering.
