I've seen a few examples of using custom pushpins with Delphi, but I've had no luck with them. The main problem is in the declaration of the MapPoint.DataSet and other vars. The Dim statement used in VB doesn't exist in Delphi, so the Dim objDataSet As MapPoint.DataSet doesn't work.

Could anyone explain how to load and reference/use a custom symbol? Thanks.

I haven't done any development with Delphi, but have you seen the articles on MP2Kmag?

search for Delphi on this page
MapPoint Articles

three articles:
Using MapPoint In Delphi
Snap to a Road
Delphi Address Verifier

Can anyone think of other good examples?

Hi,

You dont need the Dim statement in Delphi. Just declare the variables as a class member or on the stack. You need to include the type library if you use the object model:

Code:

  private
    Loc: Location;
    PP: PushPin;
    DS: Dataset;
  end;

Classes--now it makes sense (and works). Thanks a lot for the replies. This is a great forum!
