ZIndex for items in InformationLayer

[Warnestam]

Hi,

I have a map with several overlapped items on it. I want to programmatically highlight one or several items by changing the ZIndex. Unfortunatly my ZIndex binding is not working (but the other ones works fine). Here is my XAML;

<telerik:RadMap Margin="12" Name="radMap1">
            <telerik:InformationLayer x:Name="informationLayer"  >
                <telerik:InformationLayer.ItemTemplate>
                    <DataTemplate>
                        <Ellipse  Name="myEllipse"
                            telerik:MapLayer.Location="{Binding Location}"
                            telerik:MapLayer.BaseZoomLevel="9"
                            Width="200"
                            Height="200"
                            Stroke="{Binding Stroke}"
                            StrokeThickness="3"
                            Fill="{Binding Fill}"
                            Canvas.ZIndex="{Binding ZIndex}">
                            <telerik:MapLayer.HotSpot>
                                <telerik:HotSpot X="0.5" Y="0.5"   />
                            </telerik:MapLayer.HotSpot>
                        </Ellipse>
                    </DataTemplate>
                </telerik:InformationLayer.ItemTemplate>
            </telerik:InformationLayer>

Hello Warnestam,

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.

Thanks for your reply Andrey,

The Silverlight version of the RadMap supports ZIidex (http://www.telerik.com/community/forums/silverlight/map/z-order-pinpoints.aspx) so I just though that the WPF version was similar.

I will try to reorder my items as you suggested instead.

Regards

Robert

Hello Warnestam,

This post is more then 1 year old. Since this post we've changed the architecture of the information layer completely. So Silverlight version does not support ZIndex as well.
