I didn't succeed in masking placeCategory on map (masking hotel, restaurant, ...).
I used the folowing code with placecategory visible property.
Any one has an explanation ?

Code:

        axMappointControl1.NewMap(MapPoint.GeoMapRegion.geoMapEurope);
            map = axMappointControl1.ActiveMap;

            app = map.Application;

            for (int i = 1; i < map.PlaceCategories.Count + 1; i++)
            {
                object index = i;
                MapPoint.PlaceCategory placeCategory =
                    map.PlaceCategories.get_Item(ref index) as MapPoint.PlaceCategory;
                placeCategory.Visible = false;

            }

Hi!
I use Delphi 5 and have the same problem. I can't make the Hotels, Restaurant and all the other stuff invisible. Why?
My code is

Code:

var i: integer;
     oVar: OleVariant;
begin
   SMap.PlaceCategories.Visible := geoFalse;
   for i := 1 to SMap.PlaceCategories.Count do begin
      oVar := i;
      SMap.PlaceCategories.Item[oVar].Visible := false;
   end;
end;

Does s'one have a solution?

Unfortunately, it is a known bug in MapPoint Europe 2006 - most Restaurants cannot be set to non-visible. Note that this bug is NOT present in MapPoint North America 2006.

Note: To make ALL the PlaceCategories invisible, simply set ActiveMap.PlaceCategories.Visible to false. Unfortunately, this still does not make restaurants invisible.

Sorry to bear the bad news.
