Hi,

I want to embed a chart like callout into mappoint for every pushpin.I can create a custom popup and display the chart over there and can call that custom popup in pushpin selection change event. But my requirement is different. I need the chart to be displayed as callout in the chart for each pushpin in embeded format. So at the time of binding, chart will be displayed like callout along with pushpin symbol in embeded form.I am using C# .

If it is possible,can anyone tell me the way to handle the same.
Thanks in advance.

Have you looked at the Data Mapping Wizard? There are a number of simple chart options - including a bar chart and a couple of pie chart options.

I have seen Data Mapping Wizard. Actually i want to display anything (say a custom flow chart or image ) in the callout .But as far my knowledge we can display text data only in callout.If we want to show any type of object in the callout ,i think a custom popup will help.But how a popup window can be embeded into map?Any idea?I am working with c#.

I don't think you can do what you are trying to do!

Custom popups allow the flexibility but these are just windows on top of the map.

If i want to display image/flow chart on Mappoint like callout for each pushpin as embeded ,how i can achieve the same?Does Mappoint web service or microsoft virtual earth support the same type of customisation?Thanks in advance for any suggession.

I know with Virtual Earth, the pop up is html so you could have any kind of image in there.

With MapPoint (Desktop) you can have a hyperlink that could link to say an intranet web server to network file location that could have any information such as images and charts. It wouldn't be embedded in MapPoint, but you would be clicking on the pushpin balloon and bringing up that information easily.

Another thought would be to use a custom symbol. Custom Pushpin Symbols can be very large and they are images - so you might find that works for you..

Hope the folloing code should work:
'Add a Pushpin to the map
Set objPin = objMap.AddPushpin(objMap.FindResults("Seattle, WA")(1))

'Get a new symbol and change the symbol of the Pushpin on the map
Set objSymbol = objMap.Symbols.Add(objApp.Path + "\Samples\CAirport.bmp")
objPin.Symbol = objSymbol.ID

I have one doubt.Is there any restriction of size of image? Is it possible to zoom out or zoom in the image ?

I don't think there's a restriction on the size. It would not be possible to zoom in and out on the custom symbol, the pixels are fixed.
