Hello All -

Is there a way i can center the map to a pushpin? I would like to animate a pushpin (move), and keep the pushpin in the center of the screen as it moves.

Thanks,
Laz.

Hi,

Yes you can:

Code:

            Location Loc = MP.ActiveMap.GetLocation(Lat, Lon, Alt);
            Pushpin  PP  = MP.ActiveMap.AddPushpin(Loc, "");
            PP.Symbol    = 1;
            MP.ActiveMap.GoToLatLong(Lat, Lon, Alt);

The first 3 lines place the pushpin on the map, the last one center to the pushpin.

Your last line gives me a Compile error with MapPoint2004...

Expected: =

Is there something I don't get ?

Hi,

Wierd. seems ok to me. ok this is copy/paste should work

Code:

        private void testToolStripMenuItem1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            double Lat = 51.249434;
            double Lon = 4.483;
            Double Alt = 1;

            Location Loc = MP.ActiveMap.GetLocation(Lat, Lon, Alt);
            Pushpin PP = MP.ActiveMap.AddPushpin(Loc, "");
            PP.Symbol = 1;
            MP.ActiveMap.GoToLatLong(Lat, Lon, Alt);
        }

MP is the mappoint component on the form.

Hi Wilfried,
What language are you using? I can't seem to find this fucntion GoToLatLon.

In C++, I normally do a

mLoc = mMap.GetLocation(dLat, dLon, dAlt);
mpPin = mMap.AddPushpin(mLoc,"Yeehoo");

mpPin.SetSymbol(21);
mpPin.SetBalloonState(2);
mLoc.GoTo();

Hi,

this is in C#, but should make no difference as far as it is calling the mappoint functions. Very wierd ! you can also use of course the location.Goto() or also ther is a pushpin.Goto();

Very interesting, I created the C++ class wrapper by imported the type lib and I don't have these API that your C# has.
Thanks for the information.
