Hi All,
I'm working with a desktop C# MapPoint2004 application on Europe map using ActiveX control. I'm showing pushpins on certain locations on map. Now I've to implement two restrictions on user interaction.
1. User must not be able to change the info shown in balloon of pushpin on selection.
2. User should not be able to change the position of pushpin on map.
Any help is highly appreciated.
Regards

Hi,

Just restrict the user to select. Then ou are done

Hi Wilfried,
I've restrict user from selecting the pushpin and it solved "moving the pushpin problem" but still user can edit the text in balloon that I wish to restrict. Is there any solution to this text edit restriction problem?
Regards

Hi,

I just try and I cannot edit the text balloon. Hmm this is my code. The original is from Fernando Velasquez and you will find it somewhere on this forum.

Code:

        private void unSelectPushPin(object mapSelection)
        {
            try {
                Pushpin pp = mapSelection as Pushpin;
                if (pp != null) {
                    Location loc = mp.ActiveMap.GetLocation(80, 0, 0); // somewhere at the arctic ocean
                    Shape sp = mp.ActiveMap.Shapes.AddShape(GeoAutoShapeType.geoShapeRectangle, loc, 1, 1);
                    sp.Select();
                    sp.Delete();
                }

Then in the class:

Code:

        private bool lastMouseButtonLeft = false;

In the MouseDown event:

Code:

            if(e.button == GeoMouseButtonConstants.geoLeftButton) {
                unSelectPushPin(mp.ActiveMap.Selection);
                lastMouseButtonLeft = true;
            }

And in the SelectionChange:

Code:

            if (lastMouseButtonLeft) {
                unSelectPushPin(e.pNewSelection);
                lastMouseButtonLeft = false;
            }
