Navigation Bar Settings

[lmginn]

Hello,

Is there anyway of changing the navigation bar's appearance, location or style? For example is there a why of using the Bing maps navigation control instead of the radmap navigation control?

Hello lmginn,

All map UI controls are the standard Silverlight controls. So they can be styled and template using standard Silverlight approaches. You can turn off default RadMap UI by setting the UseDefaultLayout property to false. Then you can add UI controls separately into your page anywhere (even outside the map region). For example:

<Grid>
    <telerik:RadMap x:Name="radMap"
            Center="42,-122"
            ZoomLevel="6"
            UseDefaultLayout="False">
    </telerik:RadMap>

    <StackPanel VerticalAlignment="Top"
        HorizontalAlignment="Left">
        <telerik:MapNavigation Name="navigation" />
        <telerik:MapZoomBar Name="zoombar" />
    </StackPanel>
</Grid>

public MainPage()
{
    InitializeComponent();

    this.navigation.MapControl = this.radMap;
    this.zoombar.MapControl = this.radMap;
}

You can't use Bing maps navigation control instead of the radmap navigation control.
