Hi,

Anyone knows how to save the current map in an embedded MapPoint as TOleContainer as a ptm file?

I tried the following without success:

//
fMapPointApp.ActiveMap.Saved := False;
fMapPointApp.ActiveMap.SaveAs('Saved_Map_F.ptm', geoFormatMap, False);
//


Are these any properties I need to set to make it work? Or am I doing it all wrong?

Thanks,

Not sure if this is the fix but try it. Let us know if it works or not.

//
fMapPointApp.ActiveMap.SaveAs('Saved_Map_F.ptm', 0, False);
//

This is the same as what I was doing I'm afraid, since in the type library geoFormatMap hs this definition:

//
Const
geoFormatMap = 0;

I really want to save as a map (that can be reopened and edited) and not HTML or JPEG which is what all other posts seem to be referring to.

Thanks,

Hi Jean-phi,

I don't have any experience automating MapPoint from a TOleContainer. Is this the MapPoint control?

Check the help file, it looks like SaveAs is "Not available for embedded maps or the MapPoint Control."


It looks like there's two difference methods for saving from the control -

SaveMap Method
"Saves the specified map or template. If the map was opened from a template, then the map is saved as "Map.ptm" in the "My Documents" directory."
Private Sub cmdSave_Click()
MappointControl1.SaveMap
End Sub

SaveMapAs method
"Saves the specified map or template."
Private Sub cmdSaveAs_Click()
MappointControl1.SaveMapAs App.Path & "\NewMap.ptm"
End Sub
