Property Value

Type	Description
GeometryEditor	The editor that allows users to interactively create and edit geometries by interacting with the view.

Remarks

After assigning a GeometryEditor to the MapView, a Geometry being edited by the GeometryEditor will be displayed using the context, orientation and spatial reference of the MapView.

It may be useful to transfer a GeometryEditor, with its partly edited Geometry, from one MapView to another MapView. For example, in a multi-view application, partway through editing, a user may want to see and continue editing the partially edited geometry in a MapView using a different Basemap, rotation or SpatialReference (without changing the settings of their initial MapView).

A GeometryEditor can only be connected to one MapView at a time. If the same GeometryEditor is assigned to a second MapView without first detaching, then the previous MapView will automatically have its GeometryEditor property changed to null. The GeometryEditor will project the Geometry to the SpatialReference of the new MapView.

Starting or stopping Geometry editing using the GeometryEditor is independent of the GeometryEditor being attached to a MapView.

If editing the Geometry has already been started (using Start(GeometryType)) then reassignment of the GeometryEditor will automatically: - stop the editing, retain any changes, but undo can't be called on those changes - start the editing with the changed Geometry projected to the new MapView.

There is no difference between calling Start(GeometryType) before or after the GeometryEditor is assigned to a MapView. Stop() does not detach the GeometryEditor from its current MapView.

If the SpatialReference of the MapView is changed (for example, by a different Map being connected to the MapView) then the GeometryEditor will automatically take the same actions: - stop the editing, retain any changes, but undo can't be called on those changes - start the editing with the changed Geometry projected to the new MapView.
