MapForums

I have a VB6 MapPoint addin which loops round all regions (shapes) in the UK. Everything is fine until it comes across the shape representing the Highland in Scotland. At this point, MapPoint displays the debug window and closes down.

I think there is a limitation on the size of the shape that QueryShape can handle. The shape representing Highland comprise of over 200000 vertices.

I thought about replacing this shape with 2 or more shapes but the MapPoint tool for editing freeform shapes is poor.

Any other ideas would be appreciated.

What is the error?

Could you eliminate some of the vertices, i.e. make it less exact but not so much as to give you bad results?

Is it the shape that is in fact causing your error, or something else about the highland region?

I could't find anything about a limit for vertices but it does seem possible...perhaps someone knows
