Hello peoples,

I am using VB6 and MP 2k6

When I assign my DataSet object - such as

Set oDS = MapPointControl1.ActiveMap.DataSets.ImportData(App .Path & etc ...

the Default pushpin symbol is used

I THEN set my oDS.Symbol = my_symbol_of_choice_here

works fine

BUT - there is an instant when the final dataset is plotted using the generic/default pushpin symbol.

I set my DS - or instantiate it on the ImportData method call.

so prior to this, it's not able to have the symbol property set, as it's not instantiated yet.

Any clues on how to let MP to know to use my .symbol assignment BEFORE it plots them ? to prevent that 1 or 2 seconds where they show as the default pushpin symbol ?

Thanks in advance for any insights.

Hi,

Instead of importing the whole set you could do it in smaller portions, or even one by one, then you can immediatily change the symbol
