Enabling/Disabling dynamically QML map panning

skats

Hi,

I need to disable and enable panning on my QML map dynamically.
In more detail, I need with the press of the button to be able to suppress panning and then to do the opposite with another button.
I had a look online but I cannot find anything that helps or at least I did not spot it.

Is there a way to do it?

Thank you.

I think you need to look at the MapGestureArea.

From the documentation, it seems you can just set gesture.enabled on your Map object to enable/disable map gestures. So if you connect a button to this property, I expect it would work

Map{
    id: map
}

Button{
    id: suppress
    onClicked: map.gestures.enabled = false
}

Button{
    id: enable
    onClicked: map.gestures.enabled = true
}

I think something like this should work, although I haven't tested it myself or ever used maps for that matter, so I could be wrong.

Also, maybe instead of two buttons you could use one checkable button (or a slider or checkbox)

Map{
    id: map
    map.gestures.enabled: button.checked
}

Button{
    id: button
    checkable: true
}
