ZoomTo(Camera,Nullable<TimeSpan>) Method

In This Topic

Zoom the view to a camera position. This method must be called on the MCT. Use QueuedTask.Run.

Syntax

C#
Visual Basic (Declaration)

public bool ZoomTo( 
   Camera camera,
   Nullable<TimeSpan> duration
)

Public Overloads Function ZoomTo( _
   ByVal camera As Camera, _
   Optional ByVal duration As Nullable(Of TimeSpan) _
) As Boolean

Parameters

camera: The new camera to use for the view.
duration: The amount of time to navigate the view to the new camera position. If null it uses the default navigation duration.

Return Value

True if the navigation is completed, false if it was interrupted by another view navigation.

Exceptions

Exception	Description
ArcGIS.Core.CalledOnWrongThreadException	This method or property must be called within the lambda passed to QueuedTask.Run.

Remarks

This is equivalent to setting the camera position for the view. Use this method in combination with Camera /> to get and then modify the position of the view's camera. If the camera's spatial reference is in a different spatial reference than the map this method projects the camera into the spatial reference of the map.

Example

Rotate the map view

public Task<bool> RotateView(double heading)
{
  //Get the active map view.
  var mapView = MapView.Active;
  if (mapView == null)
    return Task.FromResult(false);

  //Get the camera for the view, adjust the heading and zoom to the new camera position.
  var camera = mapView.Camera;
  camera.Heading = heading;
  return mapView.ZoomToAsync(camera, TimeSpan.Zero);
}

// or use the synchronous method
public Task<bool> RotateViewAsync(double heading)
{
  return QueuedTask.Run(() =>
  {
    //Get the active map view.
    var mapView = MapView.Active;
    if (mapView == null)
      return false;

    //Get the camera for the view, adjust the heading and zoom to the new camera position.
    var camera = mapView.Camera;
    camera.Heading = heading;
    return mapView.ZoomTo(camera, TimeSpan.Zero);
  });
}
