Shape Customization in Windows Forms Map (Maps)

15 Jun 20213 minutes to read

Shapes in the map control can be customized using the ShapeSetting properties such as ShapeFill, ShapeStroke, and ShapeStrokeThickness.

Shape settings

The ShapeFill property fills the shape with respective color. The ShapeStroke property sets the border color for the shape in the map, and the ShapeStrokeThickness property sets the thickness for the shape’s border.

C#

partial class Form1
{

         private void InitializeComponent()
         {

            this.mapsControl1 = new Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Maps.Maps();

            this.mapsControl1.Name = "mapsControl1";

            this.mapsControl1.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(880, 585); 

            this.Controls.Add(this.mapsControl1);  

            this.ClientSize = new System.Drawing.Size(880, 585);          

            this.Load += new System.EventHandler(this.Form1_Load);

         }

            private Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Maps.Maps mapsControl1;

}

C#

public partial class Form1 : Form
{

        private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {

            this.mapsControl1.Dock = DockStyle.Fill;

            this.mapsControl1.Margin = new Padding(0, 0, 4, 0);

            this.mapsControl1.MapBackgroundBrush = new SolidBrush(Color.White);

            this.mapsControl1.MapItemsShape = Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Maps.MapItemShapes.None;

             ShapeFileLayer shapeLayer = new ShapeFileLayer();

             shapeLayer.Uri = "world1.shp";

             shapeLayer.ShapeSetting.ShapeFill = "#E5E5E5";

             shapeLayer.ShapeSetting.ShapeStrokeThickness = 1.5;

             shapeLayer.ShapeSetting.ShapeStroke = "#C1C1C1";

             this.mapsControl1.Layers.Add(shapeLayer);

         }
}
