SelectElements(MapView,GraphicsLayer,Geometry,SelectionCombinationMethod,Boolean) Method

Select elements on a graphics layer that visually intersect a geometry. This method must be called on the MCT. Use QueuedTask.Run.

Syntax

C#
Visual Basic (Declaration)

public static IReadOnlyList<Element> SelectElements( 
   MapView mapView,
   GraphicsLayer graphicsLayer,
   Geometry geometry,
   SelectionCombinationMethod method,
   bool isWhollyWithin
)

Public Overloads Shared Function SelectElements( _
   ByVal mapView As MapView, _
   ByVal graphicsLayer As GraphicsLayer, _
   ByVal geometry As Geometry, _
   Optional ByVal method As SelectionCombinationMethod, _
   Optional ByVal isWhollyWithin As Boolean _
) As IReadOnlyList(Of Element)

Parameters

mapView
graphicsLayer: The graphicsLayer whose elements will be selected
geometry: The selection geometry
method: Combination method used in selection operation
isWhollyWithin: This parameter only applies to 2D. Indicates whether only features that are completely within the geometry should be selected.

Return Value

IReadOnlyList

Exceptions

Exception	Description
ArcGIS.Core.CalledOnWrongThreadException	This method or property must be called within the lambda passed to QueuedTask.Run.
System.ArgumentException	geometry cannot be null or empty
System.InvalidOperationException	graphics layer is not associated with this view

Remarks

Currently, graphics layers are only supported for 2D.
Selection against elements always uses visual intersection as opposed to geometric intersection (of the search geometry with the element geometry). The graphics layer must be visible and selectable.
Use SelectElements(MapView,Geometry,SelectionCombinationMethod,Boolean) to select against all visible graphics layers.

Requirements

Target Platforms: Windows 10, Windows 8.1, Windows 7
