MeasurementCreateMode Class

A measurement mode that allows users to create rulers.

Namespace: DevExpress.Xpf.Map

Assembly: DevExpress.Xpf.Map.v24.1.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Wpf.Map

Declaration

public class MeasurementCreateMode :
    MeasurementModeBase

Remarks

In this mode, users can click the map to create a ruler. They do not need to click the Measurements toolbar buttons.

The following markup activates the Measurements object’s Create mode for the distance ruler:

<dxm:MapControl.Measurements>
    <dxm:Measurements>
        <dxm:Measurements.Mode>
             <dxm:MeasurementCreateMode/>
        </dxm:Measurements.Mode>
    </dxm:Measurements>
</dxm:MapControl.Measurements>

Specify the RulerType property to change the ruler type:

<dxm:Measurements.Mode>
      <dxm:MeasurementCreateMode RulerType="Area"/>
</dxm:Measurements.Mode>

Use the SetCreateModeCommand to activate Create mode at runtime.

You can also specify the Measurements.Mode property in code as follows:

MeasurementCreateMode mode = new MeasurementCreateMode();
mode.RulerType = RulerType.Area;
mapControl1.Measurements.Mode = mode;

The code above allows users to add an area ruler.
