[Solved] PivotMap in SP1 Q2

[Alex]

Hello!

Can you give me a sample how to create Pivot Map with SP1 Q2.

Because after update I cannot see any items.
I do following (according your demo):

PivotMap.LayoutStrategy = new SquarifiedStrategy();
PivotMap.GroupDefinitions.Add(new GroupDefinition() { Member = "Genre" });
PivotMap.ValuePath = "GrossSales";
PivotMap.LabelPath = "Name";
PivotMap.ToolTipPath = "GrossSales";
PivotMap.ToolTipFormat = "Gross Sales: {0:C0}";

List<MovieInfo> list = new List<MovieInfo>();
list.Add(new MovieInfo() { GrossSales = 123, Name = "A1", Genre = "A"});
list.Add(new MovieInfo() { GrossSales = 123, Name = "A2", Genre = "A" });
list.Add(new MovieInfo() { GrossSales = 123, Name = "B1", Genre = "B" });

PivotMap.ItemsSource = list;

And I don't see any items.
Thanks, Anatoly Chekh.

Hello Alex,

We created a small application using your code and it worked as expected. Perhaps the problematic code is elsewhere. I have attached the the test application so that you can test it in your environment.

Hello!

Yes, this solution works fine.
But If I have some another implementation. I have own control that inherits grid. And add to this control RadPivotMap. In this case you solution isn't work.

public class PivotMapContainer : Grid
{
    public PivotMapContainer()
    {
          Chilren.Add(new RadPivotMap());
    }
}
...
Xaml:
<UserControl>
    <PivotMapContainer />
</UserControl>

Thaks, Anatoly Chekh.

Hello Anatoly Chekh,

RadPivotMap implements ISupportInitialze interface for batch initializing of its properties. The xaml parser calls it automatically, but when you create it in code behind you have to call it manually like this:

public PivotMapContainer()
{
    RadPivotMap PivotMap = new RadPivotMap();
    PivotMap.BeginInit();
    this.Children.Add(PivotMap);

    // Initialize
    PivotMap.LayoutStrategy = new SquarifiedStrategy();
    PivotMap.GroupDefinitions.Add(new GroupDefinition() { Member = "Genre" });
    PivotMap.ValuePath = "GrossSales";
    PivotMap.LabelPath = "Name";
    PivotMap.ToolTipPath = "GrossSales";
    PivotMap.ToolTipFormat = "Gross Sales: {0:C0}";

    List<MovieInfo> list = new List<MovieInfo>();
    list.Add(new MovieInfo() { GrossSales = 123, Name = "A1", Genre = "A" });
    list.Add(new MovieInfo() { GrossSales = 123, Name = "A2", Genre = "A" });
    list.Add(new MovieInfo() { GrossSales = 123, Name = "B1", Genre = "B" });

    PivotMap.ItemsSource = list;
    PivotMap.EndInit();
}

I have attached the sample application modified to your scenario working as expected.
Hope this helps! Kind regards,
