MapControl.SetMapItemFactory(IMapItemFactory) Method

Assigns the specified map item factory to the MapControl.

Namespace: DevExpress.XtraMap

Assembly: DevExpress.XtraMap.v24.2.dll

Declaration

C#

public void SetMapItemFactory(
    IMapItemFactory factory
)

VB.NET

Public Sub SetMapItemFactory(
    factory As IMapItemFactory
)

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
factory	IMapItemFactory	An object that implements the IMapItemFactory interface.

Example

This example illustrates how to customize vector items when they are drawn on a map.

To do this, it’s necessary to handle the MapControl.DrawMapItem event and provide new values for the event arguments object.

MapItemFactory.cs

using DevExpress.XtraMap;

namespace DrawMapItemExample {

    public class MapItemFactory : DefaultMapItemFactory {

        protected override void InitializeItem(MapItem item, object obj) {
            base.InitializeItem(item, obj);
            MapRectangle rect = item as MapRectangle;
            if(rect != null) {
                rect.Width = 1000;
                rect.Height = 1000;
            }
        }
    }
}

Form1.cs

using System.Drawing;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using DevExpress.XtraMap;

namespace DrawMapItemExample {

    public partial class Form1 : Form {

        public Form1() {
            InitializeComponent();

            mapControl1.SetMapItemFactory(new MapItemFactory());
            ListSourceDataAdapter adapter = (ListSourceDataAdapter)Layer.Data;
            adapter.DataSource = TestData.Instance;
        }

        public VectorItemsLayer Layer { get { return (VectorItemsLayer)mapControl1.Layers[0]; } }

        private void mapControl1_DrawMapItem(object sender, DrawMapItemEventArgs e) {
            Color color1 = (Color)e.Item.Attributes["ColorProp"].Value;
            Color color2 = Color.FromArgb(255 - color1.R, 255 - color1.G, 255 - color1.B);
            e.Fill = e.IsHighlighted ? color2 : color1;
            e.Stroke = e.IsHighlighted ? color1 :  color2;
            e.StrokeWidth = e.IsHighlighted ? 5 : 2;
        }
    }

}

Data.cs

using System.Collections.Generic;

    public class TestDataItem {
        public string Label { get; set; }
        public double Lat { get; set; }

            instance.Add(new TestDataItem() { Lat = 14, Lon = 8, Label = "A", Tag = Color.Yellow });
            instance.Add(new TestDataItem() { Lat = 4, Lon = -2, Label = "B", Tag = Color.Purple });
            instance.Add(new TestDataItem() { Lat = -6, Lon = -12, Label = "C", Tag = Color.Red });
        }

        public static TestData Instance { get { return instance; } }
