Saving MapPoint Legends in .NET

Does anyone know how to save or copy a MapPoint 2006 legend via .NET?

I am trying to create Excel 2003 functionality where I copy maps programmatically into Excel 2003 from MapPoint 2006, but cannot figure out how to send the legend as well.

Thanks,

Lee

Re: Saving MapPoint Legends in .NET

You could "save as webpage" and then extract the resulting GIF images from the sub-directory that is created.

Re: Saving MapPoint Legends in .NET

I know how to copy the legend manually, but i am attempting to write the code to either save or copy the legend in VB.NET so that I can automate the process.

I am not aware of how to grab hold of the legend since it does not appear to be part of the map.

I could not find any solutions where someone has done this before. How do I programmatically grab hold of the legend and copy or save it to a file?

Thanks,

Lee

Re: Saving MapPoint Legends in .NET

The programming interface has a "save to web" function. Use this - if you tell it to create a legend, then a GIF image of the legend will be created in the sub-directory that is created.

Re: Saving MapPoint Legends in .NET

Richard,

Thanks for helping me to understand the SaveToWeb functionality. I have one more question on the SaveToWeb functionality. Is it possible to save the entire legend instead of receiving one gif file per range in the the legend?

Thanks,

Lee

Re: Saving MapPoint Legends in .NET

I don't think so.

I've used it more for the map images rather than the legend. If it isn't in the options in the help, then you probably can't do it.
