Hi,

In MapPoint 2004, there is a class named ApplicationClass that implements the Application interface so that one can access MapPoint without dropping in the OCX-component (ActiveX Control):

Code:

using MapPoint;
...
ApplicationClass _app = new ApplicationClass();
Map _map = _app.ActiveMap;
...

In MapPoint 2006, I cannot find any class that implements the Application interface. How do I connect to the Application object or somehow access the maps within MapPoint 2006 (without dropping in the OCX-component)?

Thanks in advance,

/John

Hi,

I have this code snipped wording with mp2006:

Code:

private void button1_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
    try {
        app = new ApplicationClass();
        app.Visible = true;
        // etc...

I have Mappoint added to the references of the project. It refers to the type library (*.tlb) placed in the mappoint installation directory. Also it is in the using clase.

Hi,

Thanks for you reply!

I was refering to the .ocx-component, my bad. Works fine now, however I cannot load the US maps (got them installed).
If I drop in the Active X Controll I can select US maps and it loads fine:

Code:

axControl.NewMap(GeoMapRegion.geoMapNorthAmerica);

but this?:

Code:

ApplicationClass _app = new ApplicationClass();
Map _map = _app.NewMap( ? ); // takes string
...

What should the 'string Template' look like? or is this feature unavailable when using the Object Model?

The string is a path name to a MapPoint template file.

You can use OpenMap if you want to open a map file (instead of creating a new one based on a template). This has two parameters - you probably need to use the second one (boolean, add file to "recent file" list?) because COM doesn't always support optional parameters properly.
