Display distance scale in MP control

I can't find the property to cause the map distance scale to be displayed in the map area. Is it possible, and how?

No you can't move the scale location.

Re: Display distance scale in MP control

Sorry, I didn't make it clear. When I run the stand-alone MP application, there is a distance scale overlaid on the map that shows the relationship between inches/pixels in the displayed map to the actual geographic distances. This scale does not appear when the map is displayed in the ActiveX control. Is there a way to cause this overlay to appear?

Update: n/m -- I found it. It's the "Location and scale" toolbar, in the Toolbars collection.
