NuGet Package: DevExpress.Win.Map

Declaration

[DefaultValue(ContentAlignment.TopLeft)]
public ContentAlignment Alignment { get; set; }

Property Value

Type Default Description
ContentAlignment TopLeft

A ContentAlignment enumeration value.

Remarks

You can use this property to align two or more items within the overlay. Note that, the overlay does not consider the item’s Alignment property then the Location property is set.

Example

This example demonstrates how to implement a map overlay that looks like a button with an icon:

Overlay Item Alignment Sample

// In the Form_Load event handler.
MapOverlay overlay = CreateButtonLikeOverlay(
    image: LoadOkIconFromResources(),
    text: "OK"
);
overlay.Alignment = ContentAlignment.TopLeft;
overlay.Margin = new Padding(16);
mapControl1.Overlays.Add(overlay);
// ...

private MapOverlay CreateButtonLikeOverlay(Image image, String text) {
    MapOverlay overlay = new MapOverlay();
    overlay.Padding = new Padding(8);
    overlay.Items.Add(new MapOverlayTextItem {
        Text = text,
        Alignment = ContentAlignment.MiddleRight
    });
    overlay.Items.Add(new MapOverlayImageItem {
        Image = image,
        Alignment = ContentAlignment.MiddleLeft
    });
    return overlay;
}
