MapForums

I'm using mappoint europe 2004 and i'm trying to let it work alongside visual basic 6.0
In msdn there's this line
"Dim objApp As New MapPoint.Application"
when I want to use it vb says the following: "User-defined type not defined"
what am I doing wrong? :s

greetz

check you references

hmmm, thx

now, my next question is
I have al sorts of textboxes on my form, but when I type a city in one of them and then click on see map, I want a pushpin on the place of the user-given city...
can somebody help me out here?

thx already

try using the findresults function on the ActiveMap. Read the documentation ( last point programming with mappoint ). If you have your references checked, press F1 to get more infos

Dim objApp As New MapPoint.Application
Dim objFindResults As MapPoint.FindResults

'Anwendung einrichten
objApp.Visible = True
objApp.UserControl = True

'Erstes Ergebnis der Suche ausgeben
Set objFindResults = objApp.ActiveMap.FindResults("Seattle, WA")
MsgBox "Das erste Element in der Ergebnisliste lautet: " _
+ objFindResults.Item(1).Name

i'm working with msdn online help, but the finding is not easy for a man without patience
thx btw Syd!

Read & try & error or learning by doing

If you have any questions just ask.

ok thx
the previous code you gave me is fine but it doesn't put any pushpin on my map? i was looking for that online but nothing could help me out of my problem.
i'm working with a map in visual basic itself and the code is only based on a map outside visual basic...

To add a pushpin on the map, there's a function called "AddPushpin". All you need is a location object, like the one you get from the Findresults-Collection.

The help file VB reference is very useful.

First you'll have to search for an address, then you pick one from the findresults-collection, then add the item as pushpin and then make a zoom and that's it Of course you can change the symbol of the pushpin and add some text to the pushpin.note and show it.

Perhaps you can make a search for mappoint.hlp -> there is also some good advice in it. I still find a lot of things I can put into my application. I'm looking forward to Mappoint 2005 - I hope there's a lot more cool stuff in it then
