Z-order pinpoints

[ABECON Groep BV]

Hello,

Im trying to load 200 items into a map control but they are over each other.
I want to change the z-index when i hover an item to get it on top.

Is there a way to do that?

Thanks for your help

Hi Marcel,

You can use the Canvas.SetZIndex method to highlight the pin point. The following sample code uses the MouseEnter event to set z-index:

private void AddPinpoint(MapPinPoint pinPoint)
{
    pinPoint.MouseEnter += this.MapPinPoint_MouseEnter;
    informationLayer.Items.Add(pinPoint);
}
private int lastIndex = 0;
private void MapPinPoint_MouseEnter(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
{
    UIElement element = sender as UIElement;
    if (element != null)
    {
        Canvas.SetZIndex(element, ++lastIndex);
    }
}

Sincerely yours,

I have the same problem but my information layers are databound (Itemsource property is bound to a collection of objects).
Is there a way to achieve this (preferably in an MVVM way)?
Thanks

Hi Xamlmax,

This post is more than 1 year old. Since this post we have changed the architecture of the information layer completely. The ZIndex is attachable property of the Canvas element. The InformationLayer does not use Canvas, so ZIndex is not supported. The only way to bring some element to front of others is put it to the end of the collection which is items source for the information layer.
