BING MAPS WPF V1 — BUG — Error Message Font is White on White Background, Can't See!

Question

I INTENTIONALLY passed a blank key to Bing Map Credentials. This will cause Bing Maps WPF to display a white bar at the middle of the map containing the error message.

So we used Snoop to inspect the UI, and found the error message box, but the Text Color is White on White Background! Therefore, we can't see the error message.

We've exhausted the possible culprits (XAML Styles that might influence the Error Message Formatting), but that's impossible, because ErrorTextBox is not exposed.

Answer 1

Hi,

for example!

in xaml:

<m:Map Name="BingMap"
CredentialsProvider="{Binding CredentialsProvider}"
.
.
./>

in Mainwindow:

Private ReadOnly _credentialsProvider As CredentialsProvider = New ApplicationIdCredentialsProvider(My.Settings.BingMapKey)

    Public ReadOnly Property CredentialsProvider() As CredentialsProvider

        Get
            Return _credentialsProvider
        End Get
    End Property

 

Best regards.

Thanks Neo, but we already know how to create a CredentialsProvider.

The problem we're having is that the Error Message is White instead of Black. Therefore, we can't see the error message. What we're seeing is a white bar.

Answer 6

For some reason, the default Foreground Color of XAML is White. So we changed it to gray.

Answer 7

I have the same problem, I set the style for all TextBlock as:

<Style TargetType="TextBlock">
        <Setter Property="Foreground" Value="#FFFFFFFF"/>
        <Setter Property="Padding" Value="2"/>
    </Style>

Why error's panel  does not take the foreground color set in the bing map control???
