Hello!
In order to talk a little about how to create advanced menus for the Surface Dial, I will resume my view with a map and add an extra feature to this view:
- Use the Surface Dial spin to control the map zoom
- Use the Surface Dial spin to rotate the current view on the map
The first example I mentioned in the previous post, today I will show the 2nd functionality.
The code to make this work is very simple. It is based on the following steps
- To provide the 2 features with the Surface Dial, click on the dial, change the mode from Zoom to Rotate and again zoom
- In the RotationChanged () event, the working mode is verified and changes are applied to the map
Very simple.
In the next post, a little about how to work with the menu offered by the Surface Dial.
Happy Coding!
