Adding Custom Marker

In This Topic

You can easily add a custom marker on a map surface using Map control. For doing so, you need to create a class that implements C1.Win.Map.CustomShape class for creating a custom shape. The following code can be used to add a custom marker on a map:

Visual Basic
C#

Visual Basic

Dim vl = New C1.Win.Map.VectorLayer()
C1Map1.Layers.Add(vl)

Dim placemark = New C1.Win.Map.VectorPlacemark()
placemark.Geometry = New GeoPoint(110, 65)
vl.Items.Add(placemark)

' needs set Shape to MarkerShape first
placemark.Marker.Shape = MarkerShape.[Custom]
placemark.Marker.Size = New SizeF(20, 27.32F)

' then set the CustomShape.
Dim shape = New SampleCustomShape(0)
placemark.Marker.CustomShape = shape

var vl = new C1.Win.Map.VectorLayer();
c1Map1.Layers.Add(vl);

var placemark = new C1.Win.Map.VectorPlacemark();
placemark.Geometry = new GeoPoint(110, 65);
vl.Items.Add(placemark);

// needs set Shape to MarkerShape first
placemark.Marker.Shape = MarkerShape.Custom;
placemark.Marker.Size = new SizeF(20, 27.32f);

// then set the CustomShape.
var shape = new SampleCustomShape(0);
placemark.Marker.CustomShape = shape;

The map with a custom marker will look similar to the image given below.
