Hi!
I am a Newbee and have a "simpl" question.
Is it possible ( by VB) not to draw puhpins on map, but to draw circles with a fixed/free diameter and color ?. Like the way it is done when I import data from an excel-sheet.

The shapobjekt is not a thing I want to use.

Thanks from good old vienna.

What's wrong with the shape object?

You might try a polyline, use AddPolyline.

The other thing would be use the pushpin but make it a circle with a transparent center.

I am not understanding this part: "Like the way it is done when I import data from an excel-sheet. "

I think that "Like the way it is done when I import data from an excel-sheet " refers to the sized circle/shaded circle option on the Data Mapping Wizard. Not sure, but that is the only "fixed/free diameter and color" circle I can think of that is not a draw object.

If you plan on using this without the Data Mapping Wizard see the help on DisplayDataMap method and the DataMapType constants "geoDataMapTypeShadedCircle" and "geoDataMapTypeSizedCircle."

If you just want the circles without importing data, I think you will need to use the shape object.

I think you mean the very last step of the import where you can select the shape of the pushpin, right? There are circles in two sizes in various colors. You can set this by changing the symbol value. There is a table in the help under symbol properties, circles are values 16-31. You will have to loop through each pushpin and set it, here is a real example:

Code:

       Do While Not objRecords.EOF
           lngCount = lngCount + 1
           If first = 1 Then
...
           End If
           objShape.Name = Current_RtName
           objRecords.Pushpin.Symbol = Current_RtNumber    ' <<<here
           objRecords.Pushpin.Note = Current_RtName
           objRecords.MoveNext
       Loop

Hope that helps,
sthurlock
