add buttons to navigation

[ThaoNguyen]

From ArcGis samples, I can add navigation by doing the following:
<esri:Navigation Margin="5" HorizontalAlignment="Left" VerticalAlignment="Bottom"
        Map="{Binding ElementName=MyMap}"  >   
</esri:Navigation>

I want to add 2 buttons (in red border in the attached image) to the navigation.  Is there a way I can do this?

Sure you can customize the template: http://blogs.esri.com/Dev/blogs/silverlightwpf/archive/2010/05/20/Use-control-templates-to-customize...

I read that page before posting the question, but I don't have Expression Blend.  I guess I will have to figure it out in WPF.  Thanks!

If I had expression, I would be able to copy the xaml for the basic navigation and modify it from Visual Studio.  However, I don't have expression.  If you have expresion and have the xaml code for the basic navigation, would you please attach the code to this post?

Thanks!

ExpressionBlend has a trial version and is useful for these type of things: http://www.microsoft.com/expression/products/blend_overview.aspx I recommend that you download it so you can edit templates on any control (not necessarily ours) 🙂
