Reuben B Multi-form, multi-thread messagebox() woes (VB, CF 1.0)
Good morning all. I'm a CF/.NET noob working on my first CF project for my company using VB.NET and CF 1.0. It's a store-and-forward PDA app which accesses our database through a web service. I must say I really like developing for the PDA (although as 9 out of every 10 people probably say, I wouldn't mind some extra functionality). I'm having a perplexing problem with messageboxes. The project as it stands it like this : * I preload/create all forms at startup. They are designed in the singleton pattern, so when I want to display a certain form, I'll use, for example, ServiceManagement.GetInstance().Show() ...where GetInstance is a shared(static) method of the ServiceManagement class which returns the one global instance of the form. * I ...Show All

etcheverrjc Getting Long/Lat in Birds Eye view mode
Hi, I am currently trying to get the Longitude and Latitude co-ordinates whilst in the Birds Eye view mode but it would seem this is not possible even though you are allowed to set pushpins whilst in this mode... I would have thought if you could set pushpins, you should also be able to retrieve details... Has anyone managed to get around this issue Cheers, Woody. Woody, I have been lead to believe that a work around is going to be put in place for the next version of VE for paid subscribers of the system only, it will be a seperate webservice from my understanding. Is there a way you can work around this issue in the short term, maybe even with some bad performance For exampl ...Show All

Pat Pope Altitude?
Hi, I've noticed in 3D view that the browser status bar displays the current Altitude at the cursor/map position. How can I retrieve this value programmatically Say...when the user clicks on the map. Can't seem to find anything in the docs or in forums... thanks for any help alan I guess the benifit of that is you could make it work in 2D mode as well. There is a fair bit of overhead though as compared to getting it from the 3D app that has the data already. John. I realize that this thread is pretty old but I REALLY need to be able to get the elevation for a given lat/lon. Has anyone figured this out yet I finally figured out how to place a custom pushpin at a given altit ...Show All

celinedrules VE in XAML application
I am trying to embed VE in a WPF application (XAML). From this forum, I have learned how to embed VE as a web browser control in a WinForms app, and then load a .js script into the webrowser and talk to the script methods inside (I don't like kludges like this, but then that is what I get for trying wacky things). But ( VS-Studio, Sparkle (interactive designer)) do not allow web browser controls to be placed in XAML pages. So I am stuck as to do do this. I have drilled a little further on this, but I am still stuck. (It appeared to me WinForms is a bit of overkill, since I do not need to dynamically replace or change the contents of the HTML document). So I pulled out my handy IronPython, and began to interactively drill d ...Show All

Is this doable with the SDK *bump* Anyone know if this is possible Well, in a sense, publishing is an "export" operation. You could set up a local metaweblog server and configure Writer to publish to it. ...Show All
Stuman99 Bug? Pushpin text gets misplaced if pushpin located at the bottom of map
Popup cloud gets misplaced when the pushpin located at the bottom of a map AND the browser window is smaller that the “height” value of the map’s DIV (there needs to be some space below the map’s DIV to reproduce the bug in IE). See the code sample to reproduce the bug. The code sample provides a map in a DIV with “height:500px” and some extra space below the DIV. There is a single pushpin in the very bottom of the map. If browser window height is bigger than 500 pixels then everything works fine. To reproduce the wrong behavior change your browser window height so that it is shorter than 500 pixels in height and scroll the content to the bottom of the page. Now, if you move your mouse over the pushpin the pushpin text appears way below th ...Show All
KenLinder printing custom tile maps.
Hi.. I am encountering a situation with printing the VEMap and I can not find a solution..so I hope one of you out there knows about this problem.. When I add custom layers (composed of transparent . png tiles containing visual information) from my server on top of the VEMap only the top layer of the map will print. The implementation of my server and client is described here http://www.viavirtualearth.com/vve/Articles/RollYourOwnTileServer.ashx Only the last added layer will print. The odd thing is that if I try to print preview it, it behaves correctly and it displays the whole map with its added layers... if I try to print it though.. it prints just the last added layer. Any clues or help are very welcome!! Thanks ...Show All
