TdxMapItem Class

A generic map item.

Declaration

TdxMapItem = class(
    TcxComponentCollectionItem
)

Remarks

This is the base class for classes implementing various map items including:

• Dots (TdxMapDot)

• Pushpins (TdxMapPushpin)

• Rectangles (TdxMapRectangle)

• Ellipses (TdxMapEllipse)

• Polylines (TdxMapPolyline)

• Polygons (TdxMapPolygon)

• Paths (TdxMapPath)

• Custom elements (TdxMapCustomElement).

Vector items are perfect for pinpointing specific locations on a map, while custom elements help you add image and text overlays. TdxMapItem implements the essential functionality that is common to all these map items, allowing you to:

• Switch the map item’s visibility and selected state (Visible and Selected);

• Specify the hint message or ScreenTip for the map item (Hint and ScreenTip);

• Assign appearance settings for various item states (Style, StyleHot, and StyleSelected);

• Store arbitrary data with the map item (Attributes);

• Switch the visibility and customize the text of the map item’s title (TitleOptions).
