Hi,

i need to show some individual symbols for my pushpins, but i can't find exactly how to do it. I'm adding the pushpin this way:

Code:

MapPoint.Location loc = map.GetLocation(latitude, longitude, altitude);
MapPoint.Pushpin pushpin = map.AddPushpin(loc, loc.Name);

The problem is, that i've seen the pushpin.Symbol-Member, but i don't know how to set a custon bitmap or jpg to it, cause it's a short-Value.

Is it somehow possible to use these Standard-Icons from MapPoint:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...ablesIcons.asp

Thanks, greets

mike

Hi Mike,

While I'm not sure about C#, you can do it in VB by updating the Symbol property of the pushpin object you create in the AddPushPin method. I would expect that it would be similar in C#.

Code:

Dim oLoc As MapPointCtl.Location
Dim oPin As MapPointCtl.Pushpin

Set oLoc = map.ActiveMap.GetLocation(Latitude, Longitude)
Set oPin = map.ActiveMap.AddPushpin(oLoc, "Pin Name")
oPin.Note = "Balloon Note goes here"
oPin.BalloonState = geoDisplayName
oPin.Symbol = 87                               '  Green Truck Symbol

Hope this helps.

Ok, this helps, but how do you know witch symbol the nr. 87 is? On the page i've posted above the green truck is nr. 55?
I would like to use the simple blue car or one with an arrow, how do i find out, witch nr they have without trial and error?

Hi,

In the help of mappoint look at "symbol property". they are listed with number and symbol.
