This example demonstrates how to implement a map overlay that looks like a button with an icon:
// In the Form_Load event handler.
MapOverlay overlay = CreateButtonLikeOverlay(
image: LoadOkIconFromResources(),
text: "OK"
);
overlay.Alignment = ContentAlignment.TopLeft;
overlay.Margin = new Padding(16);
mapControl1.Overlays.Add(overlay);
// ...
private MapOverlay CreateButtonLikeOverlay(Image image, String text) {
MapOverlay overlay = new MapOverlay();
overlay.Padding = new Padding(8);
overlay.Items.Add(new MapOverlayTextItem {
Text = text,
Alignment = ContentAlignment.MiddleRight
});
overlay.Items.Add(new MapOverlayImageItem {
Image = image,
Alignment = ContentAlignment.MiddleLeft
});
return overlay;
}
