Hi I am having a nagging problem i am trying to alter the angle of a oval which i have placed on the map with the following code
im myshape As MapPoint.Shape

AxMappointControl1.ActiveMap.Shapes.AddShape(MapPo int.GeoAutoShapeType.geoShapeOval, MAPLOCS1(MAPLOCS1.Length - 1), 3, 2).Name = "Zone"

myshape = AxMappointControl1.ActiveMap.Shapes.Item("Zone")
myshape.Adjustments(1) = 90

However when i run the program an error is thrown saying access denied?????
does anyone have an idea of how it is possible to overcome this or what i am doing wrong?

Kind regards

Tim

Hi timllens,

That property seem to be unused for oval autshapes.
You'll need to delete the shape and recreate it in the desired configuration.

Note that many of these autoshapes are going to be rather inflexible,
meaning that you'll need to addshape by passing in an array of locations.

Yes I thought ovals had to be aligned to the NS and EW compass directions.

I think the angle property is for the radius line in a Radius autoshape? (circle with a line giving the radius).
