In this WPF project, we show you how to highlight a feature when the user hovers the mouse pointer over it. This effect can be realized in Map Suite by using a timer and doing some spatial querying based on the location of the mouse pointer. This sample works with area-based features but the same could be accomplished with point- or line-based features simply by using different spatial queries.

Please refer to Wiki for the details.

This sample makes use of the following NuGet Packages

MapSuite 10.0.0

LayerOverlay highlightOverlay = (LayerOverlay)wpfMap1.Overlays["HighlightOverlay"];
ShapeFileFeatureLayer featureLayer = (ShapeFileFeatureLayer)((LayerOverlay)wpfMap1.Overlays["LayerFeatureOverlay"]).Layers["StatesLayer"];
InMemoryFeatureLayer highlightLayer = (InMemoryFeatureLayer)highlightOverlay.Layers["HighlightLayer"];

featureLayer.Open();
Collection<Feature> features = featureLayer.QueryTools.GetFeaturesContaining(point, ReturningColumnsType.NoColumns);
featureLayer.Close();
