Hi,
I'll post here something that was discussed in the Desktop Edition forum. Please, refer to gis.thinkgeo.com/Support/Discussion...fault.aspx. There wasn't a clear answer there.
In this case, I have different styles for the text, each one in a different ShapefileFeatureLayer (the same shapefile, but indexed by a property value). I want the position of those labels to be controlled globally in order to avoid overlapping when possible. (using the BestPlacement property)
The problem with that in the WPF edition is that the engine only control label positioning in the same shapefile. But, I'd like to have this control in an entire overlay, in multiple shapefiles. If I'm not wrong, in the Desktop Edition, it was possible to add many text shapefiles to the same overlay and still the the placement for the labels correct.
What can I do? I was thinking about using class break styles, therefore using the same ShapeFileFeatureLayer. Is it possible? I've used this technique before in other shapefiles (not for labels), and it was slower than using indexes. That's why I use indexes or even break shapefiles to apply style.
Thank you very
