ArcGIS.Desktop.Mapping Namespace / MapView Class / ClientToMap Method
The point that represents client coordinates relative to the top-left corner of the view.
Example

In This Topic
    ClientToMap Method (MapView)
    In This Topic
    Converts a point in client coordinates relative to the top-left corner of the view to a point in the coordinates of the map or scene. This method must be called on the MCT. Use QueuedTask.Run.
    Syntax
    public MapPoint ClientToMap( 
       Point clientPoint
    )
    Public Function ClientToMap( _
       ByVal clientPoint As Point _
    ) As MapPoint

    Parameters

    clientPoint
    The point that represents client coordinates relative to the top-left corner of the view.

    Return Value

    The converted point in map coordinates.
    Exceptions
    ExceptionDescription
    This method or property must be called within the lambda passed to QueuedTask.Run.
    Example
    Translates a point in map coordinates to a point in page coordinates
    internal class GetMapCoordinates : MapTool
    {
      protected override void OnToolMouseDown(MapViewMouseButtonEventArgs e)
      {
        if (e.ChangedButton == System.Windows.Input.MouseButton.Left)
          e.Handled = true; //Handle the event args to get the call to the corresponding async method
      }
    
      protected override Task HandleMouseDownAsync(MapViewMouseButtonEventArgs e)
      {
        return QueuedTask.Run(() =>
        {
          var pointSymbol = SymbolFactory.Instance.ConstructPointSymbol(ColorFactory.Instance.BlackRGB, 8);
          var layout = Project.Current.GetItems<LayoutProjectItem>().FirstOrDefault().GetLayout();
          
          //Convert the clicked point in client coordinates to the corresponding map coordinates.
          var mapPoint = MapView.Active.ClientToMap(e.ClientPoint);
          ArcGIS.Desktop.Framework.Dialogs.MessageBox.Show(string.Format("X: {0} Y: {1} Z: {2}",
              mapPoint.X, mapPoint.Y, mapPoint.Z), "Map Coordinates");
          //Get the corresponding layout point
          var mapFrame = layout.FindElement("New Map Frame") as MapFrame;
          var pointOnLayoutFrame = mapFrame.MapToPage(mapPoint);
    
          //Create a point graphic on the Layout.
          var cimGraphicElement = new CIMPointGraphic
          {
            Location = pointOnLayoutFrame,
            Symbol = pointSymbol.MakeSymbolReference()
          };
          //Or use GraphicFactory
          var cimGraphicElement2 = GraphicFactory.Instance.CreateSimpleGraphic(
                  pointOnLayoutFrame, pointSymbol);
    
          //At 2.x - LayoutElementFactory.Instance.CreateGraphicElement(layout, cimGraphicElement);
    
          ElementFactory.Instance.CreateGraphicElement(layout, cimGraphicElement);
          ElementFactory.Instance.CreateGraphicElement(layout, cimGraphicElement2);
    
        });
        
      }
    }
    Create a tool to the return coordinates of the point clicked in the map
    internal class GetMapCoordinates : MapTool
    {
      protected override void OnToolMouseDown(MapViewMouseButtonEventArgs e)
      {
        if (e.ChangedButton == System.Windows.Input.MouseButton.Left)
          e.Handled = true; //Handle the event args to get the call to the corresponding async method
      }
    
      protected override Task HandleMouseDownAsync(MapViewMouseButtonEventArgs e)
      {
        return QueuedTask.Run(() =>
        {
          //Convert the clicked point in client coordinates to the corresponding map coordinates.
          var mapPoint = MapView.Active.ClientToMap(e.ClientPoint);
          ArcGIS.Desktop.Framework.Dialogs.MessageBox.Show(string.Format("X: {0} Y: {1} Z: {2}",
                      mapPoint.X, mapPoint.Y, mapPoint.Z), "Map Coordinates");
        });
      }
    }
    
    Use Select or Search with a Spatial Query
    //var featSceneLayer = ...;
    //var sname = featSceneLayer.Name;
    await QueuedTask.Run(() =>
    {
      if (!featSceneLayer.HasAssociatedFeatureService)
        return;//no search or select
    
      //Select all features within the current map view
      var sz = MapView.Active.GetViewSize();
      var map_pt1 = MapView.Active.ClientToMap(new System.Windows.Point(0, sz.Height));
      var map_pt2 = MapView.Active.ClientToMap(new System.Windows.Point(sz.Width, 0));
    
      //Convert to an envelope
      var temp_env = EnvelopeBuilderEx.CreateEnvelope(map_pt1, map_pt2, MapView.Active.Map.SpatialReference);
    
      //Project if needed to the layer spatial ref
      SpatialReference sr = null;
      using (var fc = featSceneLayer.GetFeatureClass())
      using (var fdef = fc.GetDefinition())
        sr = fdef.GetSpatialReference();
    
      var env = GeometryEngine.Instance.Project(temp_env, sr) as Envelope;
    
      //Set up a query filter
      var sf = new SpatialQueryFilter()
      {
        FilterGeometry = env,
        SpatialRelationship = SpatialRelationship.Intersects,
        SubFields = "*"
      };
    
      //Select against the feature service
      var select = featSceneLayer.Select(sf);
      if (select.GetCount() > 0)
      {
        //enumerate over the selected features
        using (var rc = select.Search())
        {
          while (rc.MoveNext())
          {
            using (var feature = rc.Current as Feature)
            {
              var oid = feature.GetObjectID();
              //etc.
            }
          }

      MapView.Active.Map.ClearSelection();
