MapForums

I'm developing an application which uses MapPoint activex control.
I don't want any toolbars in the mappoint control so I've disabled them, anyway when I'm over the control with the mouse I would like to pan at the same way I do when I select the Pan instrument in the Navigation Toolbar. I would like also to use the function zoom area as I can do when the zoom instrument in the navigation toolbar is selected. I should switch between these two functionality (zoom and pan) through buttons which are outside of the MapPoint control... so the question is..
can I switch programmatically between the PAN instrument and the ZOOM instrument?

Thanks in advance for anyone can give me help.

Hi masty,

You can use the DragBehavior property to switch between pan and zoom.

So, assuming your control is called mapCtl use

mapCtl.ActiveMap.DragBehavior = MapPoint.GeoDragBehavior.geoDragHand (for pan)

and

mapCtl.ActiveMap.DragBehavior = MapPoint.GeoDragBehavior.geoDragBox (for zoom)

Hope this helps...
