I have an ArcGIS Silverlight app with a Map object. It containes an ArcGISTiledMapServiceLayer and a GraphicsLayer. We've written a custom measure tool for adding in a point at an offset on the graphic layer. I am trying to disable the mouse wheel zoom-in/zoom-out function when this tool is activated to prevent the user from being able to zooom while performing a measurement.
I've played around with various combinations of setting the map.IsHitTestVisible = false, graphicLayer.IsHitTestVisible = false, overriding OnMouseWheel(), all with no sucess. It either had no effect, or it disabled ALL mouse events, including the mouse down and mouse move event which I need for the measure tool.
I've read thru the documentation on the MouseWheel but I guess I'm not understanding it correctly. I just can't seem to get it to do what I want. And I can't find any specific examples that do what I want either.
Any suggestions or places I can look to figure this out?
I am using Silverlight 4 and ESRI Silverlight 2.4.

I haven't tried it, but you could try setting the Map's
ZoomFactorproperty tozero1(storing the old value) while your measurement tool is active.http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapi/silverlight/apiref/ESRI.ArcGIS.Client~ESRI.ArcGIS.Client.Map~ZoomFactor.html
