Hello, I am currently evaluating ThinkGeo for a GIS view in one of our products. Playing with the library, I've made some progress, but have the following questions:
1. I need a layer to display images on the map (e.g. aircraft, radar, etc.) I have been able to use the InMemoryFeatureLayer to set up layers for each of my icon types, but was wondering if that is the best way to approach this problem.
2. I need to be able to click on a feature that is a bitmap and have some way of indicating it is the selected item. I can get the click event to show me the selected feature, but I can't find any way to modify the image (e.g. selection handles, different background) to indicate that the feature is selected. How do I do that?
3. Once a feature is added to my InMemoryLayer and it is selected, is there a way to drag it to reposition it on the map? If not, can I set some property values to reposition it? Every time I try to use the EditTools to update the PointShape position, the icon is never moved and when I click back onto the map control, I get an unhandled exception relating to a bad/missing key in an underlying collection.
From what I've seen, the map suite looks like it can do what I want/need, I'm just not sure how best to implement it. Your API documentation seems to be missing a lot of useful information but your getting started guides are a bit too simplistic. (Just thought I'd provide that unsolicited feedback from a prospective customer). For example, I have no idea what all the differences are between all of the different layer and overlay classes. Thanks in advance for any help or guidance.
Also, I tried to post this on the forums using Google's Chrome browser, but it failed to accept the new post, and never provided any information other than an exclamation icon near the subject name.
