Hi,
I need to use MP 2004 in our delivery managment software. I have got the type library installed so i have got the three controls Application, map and mappointUtilities.

What I need to do is very basic, which is displaying a direction map, using two postcodes, the first one is the warehouse postcode and the second one is the customer postcode.

Can any one show me some delphi code or direct me to the right place.

I am using Delphi 6 and MapPoint 2004.

Thanks

This is an example of what I want to achieve.

How did you get the AcitveX components in Delphi? I have written my own component because it failed to install in Delphi <8 with "not supported interface". Any advice is welcome!

Hi,

Code:

This is an example of what I want to achieve

I have Delphi code for that using Ole object. Also in C# using the component. For the former I have it on a defective machine Next week it is ok. For the latter I can easy give yuo some example using C# wich is very easy to transform into Delph. Please let me know what you prefere.

Hi,

Choose 'Import Type Library', select 'Microsoft MapPoint 11.0 Object Library', tick 'Generate Component Wrapper' and then click 'Install'. This will compile and build a Delphi package and as a result three MapPoint components will appear on the ActiveX-tab of the Component Palette: TApplication, TMap and TMapPointUtilities.

Hi,

Ok this works:

Code:

   with OpenDialog1 do
      if Execute then
         Application1.OpenMap(FileName, False);

But can you get a visual map on the form ?

Hi,

I am new to MP, I managed to display the mep but not embaded within the form. this is the code


procedure TForm1.FormShow(Sender: TObject);
var
MyMap: _Map;
begin
MyMap := MyApplication.ActiveMap;
MyMap.Application.Visible := True;
MyMap.GoToLatLong(43, -3, 100);
end;

you need to drop MP TApplication component on the form first.

I don't mind trying C# code for now if you would.

Thanks

This code will embed it into a form, you need to drop a TOleContainer onto the form

procedure TForm1.FormShow(Sender: TObject);
var
vGuid : TGuid;
FMap:_map;
begin
OleContainer.CreateObject('MapPoint.Map.EU.11', False);
OleContainer.DoVerb(1);
OleContainer.OleObjectInterface.GetUserClassID(vGu id);
FMap := IDispatch(OleContainer.OleObject) as _Map;

end;

Hi,

This is VB code for geocoding:
http://www.mp2kmag.com/articles.asp?...xtract.lat.lon
This is the same one converted into C#:

I have something similar in Delphi5 but cant find it at the moment.

What you have to do is first get a Location object form the address information you get. Something similar like this:

Code:

            FindResults AddrResults = MP.ActiveMap.FindAddressResults(street, city, othercity, region, zip, country);

            foreach (object o in AddrResults) {
                Location Loc = o as Location;

                if (Loc != null) {
                    double Lat;
                    double Lon;
                    pos.CalcPos(Loc, out Lat, out Lon);
                    Console.WriteLine(Loc.Name + " " + Lat.ToString() + " " + Lon.ToString());
                }

The pos.CalcPos is the geocoding function described in the both URL's. Once you have the position of all the points you can calculate the route. But I will this post a litte later today as I have to go now...
