Remarks

Display pushpins, images, and shapes on the MapControl by adding them to its MapElements collection.

  • Display an image such as a pushpin with optional text by using the MapIcon class. Keep the default image or provide a custom image.
  • Define and display a MapPolygon or a MapPolyline.
  • Display a 3D model using the MapElement3D class.

Alternately, to display XAML elements on the MapControl, add them to its Children collection.

For more info, see Display maps with 2D, 3D, and Streetside views.

Constructors

MapElement()

Initializes a new instance of the MapElement class.

Properties

Dispatcher

Gets the CoreDispatcher that this object is associated with. The CoreDispatcher represents a facility that can access the DependencyObject on the UI thread even if the code is initiated by a non-UI thread.

(Inherited from DependencyObject)
IsEnabled

Indicates whether users can interact with the MapElement.

IsEnabledProperty

Identifies the IsEnabled dependency property.

MapStyleSheetEntry

Gets or sets the name of an entry in the map's style sheet that you'd like to apply to this MapElement.

MapStyleSheetEntryProperty

Identifies for the MapStyleSheetEntry dependency property.

MapStyleSheetEntryState

Gets or sets the name of the state of this MapElement. If the style sheet defines a style for that state, that style is applied to this element. Values defined in the style sheet for the state override values defined in the MapStyleSheetEntry.

MapStyleSheetEntryStateProperty

Identifies for the MapStyleSheetEntryState dependency property.

MapTabIndex

Gets or sets a value that determines the order in which elements of the MapControl receive focus when the user navigates through those elements by pressing the Tab key.

MapTabIndexProperty

Identifies the MapTabIndex dependency property.

Tag

Gets or sets an arbitrary object value that can be used to store custom information about this object.

TagProperty

Identifies the Tag dependency property.

Visible

Gets or sets a value that indicates whether the MapElement is visible on the MapControl.

VisibleProperty

Identifies the Visible dependency property.

ZIndex

Gets or sets the z-index of the MapElement. A MapElement with a higher z-index is displayed on top of a MapElement with a lower z-index.

ZIndexProperty

Identifies the ZIndex dependency property.
