Data Site Popups (Mono)

shieldst[CodePlex]
Problem The little yellow pop-ups that appear when a user hovers over a data site are not functional in Linux or Mac.

The Popup lives in DataDownload (look inside Layer Information gt PopupControl).

On Linux, the Popups just do not work, which is a minor problem; however on Mac OS an exception is thrown every time a pop up is supposed to appear. (Disable Popups in the menu to make error messages stop).

Temporary Solution I have disabled the popups when running on Mono by adding a condition in DataDownloadPlugin.

The Popup button will be added only if NOT running on Mono. if (!DotSpatial.Mono.Mono.IsRunningOnMono()) { App.HeaderControl.Add(_btnShowPopups = new SimpleActionItem(quotShow Map Popupsquot, ShowPopups_Click) { RootKey = SharedConstants.SearchRootkey, GroupCaption = Msg.Results, SmallImage = Resources.popup_16x16, ToggleGroupKey = Msg.Download_Tools_Group, Enabled = false }); _btnShowPopups.Toggling += ShowPopups_Click; _btnShowPopups.Enabled = false; } And the ShowPopups property can be set only if not on Mono. public bool ShowPopups { get { return _showPopups; } set { if (_showPopups == value || DotSpatial.Mono.Mono.IsRunningOnMono()) return; _showPopups = value;

            var handler = ShowPopupsChanged;
            if (handler != null)
            {
                handler(this, EventArgs.Empty);
            }
        }
    }

This is just a temporary solution to the errors being thrown on Mac OS, but we need to find a way to either make the popups work on Mono or display the same information in a different way.
