Hello,

i am using the mappoint control of mappoint european 2004 to create an application


I want to use pushpins to show data on the map
in some exsamples i saw code like:

Dim myPushpins(1) As Pushpin
myPushpins(0) = New Pushpin()
myPushpins(0).IconDataSource = "MapPoint.Icons"
myPushpins(0).IconName = "31"
myPushpins(0).Label = "Start"

But it doesnt work!
Here is my Code

Code:

        Dim pinCounter As Integer
        pinCounter = 0

        objRecordSet.MoveFirst()

        Dim myPushpins(pinCounter.MaxValue - 1) As MapPoint.Pushpin
        Do While Not objRecordSet.EOF

            myPushpins&#40;pinCounter&#41; = New MapPoint.Pushpin  '<<--- ? "New cannot be used with an Interface..." ?

            objRecordSet.MoveNext&#40;&#41;
            pinCounter += 1

        Loop

plz help me, what sould i do?

What language are you programming in?

VB.NET

Give this a try

Code:

Try
 Dim omap As MapPoint.Map
 Dim oloc As MapPoint.Location
 Dim opin As MapPoint.Pushpin

 omap = AxMappointControl1.ActiveMap 
 oloc = omap.GetLocation(51.577141, 0.291178, 250)
 opin = omap.AddPushpin(oloc, "Pushpin1")
 opin.BalloonState = MapPoint.GeoBalloonState.geoDisplayBalloon
 opin.Location.GoTo()

Catch ex As Exception
  MessageBox.Show(ex.Message)
End Try

thx
thats the way i tried first,

but i want to set an own icon and a Label wich shows the data on the map

is it possible somehow?

Hi,

Code:

Symbol NewSymbol = MP.ActiveMap.Symbols.Add("c:\\test.bmp");
PP.Symbol = NewSymbol;
