Hello,
I am using the Wpf Map control from the Map Suite Desktop Edition v3.0.180 Beta 2 and have a question regarding performance and map interaction.
Firstly the continuous rendering of the area you are moving into while paning is a nice feature but seems to render quite slowly. A reference to the feature I was expecting would be similar to how OpenLayers renders tiles as they are ready to be renderd (i.e. use a blank tile until the actual tile is ready for rendering) I have not tried the pure Win32 map so dont know about ther performance difference between the Win32 and Wpf render but it does feel way to slow. Is this a known issue to be looked at with the next beta release? My machine has a Vista OS with AMD TL-52 1.6Ghz with 2Gb DDR2, as such feel my machine has enough power.
Secondaly the map interaction... In my Wpf application I have canvas controls floating over the Wpf Map but I need to click on the canvas area to take focus away from the Wpf map and then only can I interact with the floating canvas. As soon as I move my mouse cursor over the Wpf Map it takes focus back and I am again unable to interact with the floating canvas controls unless I click on them again so as to give back focus. My question is is it possible to have the Wpf Map control to not take focus as soon as I move my mouse cursor over the Wpf Map? and is it possible to set the Wpf Map control to not accept user interaction at all... That way I can manage user panning and zooming as a work around. Any other ideas?
Thanks...
