Remarks

Xaml

<dxm:MapControl>
    <dxm:MapControl.MapEditor>
        <dxm:MapEditor ActiveLayer="{Binding ElementName=vectorLayer}"
                       ActiveItems="{Binding ItemsOnEdit}">
            <dxm:MapEditor.Mode>
                <dxm:MapEditorEditMode/>
            </dxm:MapEditor.Mode>
            <dxm:MapEditor.EditorPanelOptions>
                <dxm:MapEditorPanelOptions VerticalAlignment="Bottom" Margin="8"/>
            </dxm:MapEditor.EditorPanelOptions>
        </dxm:MapEditor>
    </dxm:MapControl.MapEditor>
    <!-- Other Map Control settings -->
