How do you find name of the city and the corresponding state on mousemove event (using the mouse coordinates). I have tried using method ObjectsfromPoint(x,y) but it doesnt seem to help much. Moreover to properties City & State can only be obtained if you have Street Address.

Thanks

This really isn't supported.. you could explore and use one of the Reverse Geocoding techniques, there are three articles on the topic on this web site.

I think it might involve a timer and periodically creating and destroying a temporary pushpin. Note that the reverse geocoding techniques can take .25 to 1 second, so it's not exactly instantaneous..

try this

Dim objResults As MapPoint.FindResults
Dim objResult As Object
Dim i As Integer

Set objResults = objMap.ObjectsFromPoint(X, Y)

If objResults.Count > 1 Then
For i = 2 To objResults.Count
Set objResult = objResults.Item(i)
If objResult.Type = 12 Then
strCP = objResult.Name
lblCP = objResult.Name
ElseIf objResult.Type = 16 Then
lblCommune = objResult.Name
End If
Next i
end if

I use it in a beforclick event to disply the postal code and the county name (Commune) on a labels on a form (12 and 16 types)
It's working fine but.. when the cursor pass on thematic map. th findResults collection seems to "change" in her behavior.. so the "type" property is NOT allowed. An error ocurred. For me the model object of Mappoint is lacking of consistency .
Anyone as a solution?
