Explicitly show text for pushpin (no mouseover)?

Explicitly show text for pushpin (no mouseover)?

  There is an example out there that does this but we wanted both. A small label on the point itself and a detailed mouse over.
  We used AddControl, but that only half of it, you also need to remove them.
  Have a look at this (left out the AJAX query to get data):
  
  var map = null;
  var pinID = 0;
  var LabelID = 0;
  
  function GetMap()
  {
  map = new VEMap('MapDiv');
  map.LoadMap(new VELatLong(0, 0), 1 ,'r' ,false);
  map.AttachEvent("onchangeview", DoAjaxQuery);
  map.AttachEvent("onstartcontinuouspan", RemoveAllLabels);
  DoAjaxQuery();
  }
  
  function RemoveAllLabels()
  {
  for (x=0;x<LabelID;x++)
  {
  var el = document.getElementById("VELabel" + x);
  el.parentNode.removeChild(el);
  }
  LabelID = 0;
  }
  
  function AddLabel(lat,lon,labeltext)
  {
  var point = map.LatLongToPixel(new VELatLong(lat, lon));
  var el = document.createElement("div");
  el.setAttribute('id',"VELabel" + LabelID++);
  el.style.top = (point.y + 1) + "px";
  el.style.left = (point.x + 1) + "px";
  el.style.border = "1px solid gray";
  el.style.font = "9px arial";
  el.style.background = "White";
  el.style.padding = "0px 2px 0px 2px";
  el.innerHTML = labeltext;
  map.AddControl(el);
  }

  I wanted to do something similar, in that I wanted a label under my custom pushpins, ended up having to use the AddControl method to add my own DIV's. Might help you
