VB.NET

Public Property ScrollArea As MapBounds

Property Value

Type	Description
MapBounds	The scroll area boundaries.

Remarks

In the following animation, a rectangle depicts the scroll area boundaries and a dot indicates the map center position:

Example

This example specifies a rectangular area that confines the map center point:

In Code

XAML

<dxm:MapControl x:Name="map">
   ...
</dxm:MapControl>   

C#

using DevExpress.Xpf.Map;
//...
  private void Window_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e) {
      map.ScrollArea = new DevExpress.Map.MapBounds(
                              new GeoPoint(44.568441, -11.877712),
                              new GeoPoint(36.219329, 4.030490));
      map.CenterPoint = new GeoPoint(40.155242, -2.912869);
      map.ZoomLevel = 4.5;
  }

VB.NET

Imports DevExpress.Xpf.Map
'...
Private Sub Window_Loaded(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As RoutedEventArgs)
    map.ScrollArea = New DevExpress.Map.MapBounds(New GeoPoint(44.568441, -11.877712), New GeoPoint(36.219329, 4.030490))
    map.CenterPoint = New GeoPoint(40.155242, -2.912869)
    map.ZoomLevel = 4.5
End Sub

In Markup

You can also specify the scroll area in markup. Coordinates are written in the following order: x1, y1, x2, y2, where x1, y1 are the top-left point’s coordinates, and x2, y2 are the bottom-right point’s coordinates.

XAML

<dxm:MapControl x:Name="map"
                ScrollArea="-11.877712, 44.568441, 4.030490, 36.219329"
                CenterPoint="40.155242, -2.912869" 
                ZoomLevel="4.5">
    ...
</dxm:MapControl>
