Hi!

I created an access application which uses a MapPoint control.
It works really well but I'd like to gray the countries that I don't use.

For example, I'm putting pushpins on the switzerland map and I'd like to gray the other countries so it makes things clearer.

Do you know any way to do this (in mappoint of course) ?

Thank you

Hi,

Nope dont think so
However Richard has a tool to create only country map you want, meaning you for example have only switserland on screen. Can you live with this ?

Yeah that could do the trick I guess.

How would I go about doing that/getting that tool? (free?)

The Single State Mapper is actually Eric Frost's - I only sell that one

Although the default is white, the colors can be changed to gray quite easily.

It will do what is required, except it is only setup for the US. Ie. you can draw maps of single US states only.

If you ask Eric nicesly, he might create a European version - but I doubt it will be free.
