Tech Tips


Finding a feature (road, city, etc.) when a user clicks on that feature

Did you know that you can find a feature when a user clicks on that particular feature on your map? First, set the Map.Mode to ModeType.SelectFeatures . Once this is done, every time a feature is clicked, the Map_SelectFeatures event will fire, passing in the features that were selected. It is the features (plural) because you could have more than one feature in one location (for example, a bridge crossing over a river).

Below is some code to make this a little clearer. Note: The Query sample named Select Features Mode shows more detail on this.

C#
private void Map1_SelectFeatures (MapSuite.FeatureInfo[] FeatureInfos)
{
if (FeatureInfos != null)
MessageBox.Show(FeatureInfos[0].RecordNumber.ToString());
}

VB.Net
Private Sub Map1_SelectMapShapes (ByVal FeatureInfos() as MapSuite.FeatureInfo) Handles_
Map1.SelectFeatures
If Not FeatureInfos Is Nothing Then
MessageBox.Show(FeatureInfos(0).RecordNumber.ToString)
End If
End Sub
