Scope

Controls: Grid (Control Type: Maps)

Description

It applies to Grids with their Control type property = Maps Control Type and allows drawing a specific geography at runtime.

The SaveEdition method and GeographySaved event allow programming geography editing. In addition, the SDT MapGeographies stores the geographies drawn.

Runtime/Design time

This property applies both at runtime and at design time.

Samples

A Panel object with a Maps grid could define four User Events (Points, Lines, Polygons, None), to change the geography to draw or turn off the edition. When one of this events is triggered, where changes the edit mode by code, the GeographySaved event is called
Another User Event (SaveEdition) invoke the Save Edition method which stores the geographies drawn. It means,  this event, ends the edition of that geography.

Event 'Points'
    MapGrid.EditableGeographies = !"Points"
Endevent

Event 'Lines'
    MapGrid.EditableGeographies = !"Lines"
Endevent

Event 'Polygons'
    MapGrid.EditableGeographies = !"Polygons"
Endevent

Event 'None'  
   MapGrid.EditableGeographies = !"None"
Endevent

Event 'SaveEdition'
    MapGrid.SaveEdition()
Endevent

Event MapGrid.GeographySaved(&Geography , &GeographyId)
    composite
        &GeographySDT = new()
        &GeographySDT.Id = &GeographyId
        &GeographySDT.Feature = &Geography
        &Geographies.Add(&GeographySDT)
    endcomposite
Endevent

where the variable & Geographies is based on MapGeographies Collection and is where all geographies are stored.

If it is displayed, for example, in a user event, the content of & Geographies.Tojson () will look as follows:

[{"Feature": "POINT(-56.163397898 -34.653212890)", "Id":"4f9dc59...."};
  {"Feature":"LINESTRING(-56.163397898 -34.653212890, -56.163397898 -34.576488320)", "Id": "ec3f-...."};
  {"Feature":"POLYGON(-56.163397898 -34.653212890, -56.163397898 -34.576488320, ...)", "Id": "7918ad1-...."}]
