• intrepid Saving maps

  Hi, Is there a way to save a map (along with pushpins) as a pdf or a image file My client really will like if we could save a map as an image or a pdf file so it can be emailed to other users. Thanks, Sanjeev Yes, it is possible, but it will not be as easy if you might think. All the tile images from the background are available as picture files (I don't think the information is public, but it isn't too hard to figure that part out) so you could grab them and "glue" them together to get one big picture (you have to cut off the unused parts). You can keep track of all the pushpins you add / delete and enumerate the ones that are in the current view. Then you can draw those on the pi ...Show All

• Ccercone JS Alert box with clickable links

How is this done I need to pop up a box of clickable links in my custom disambiguity function and I can't work out how this is done. any help would be appreciated. thanks heaps for this Derek... it appeared that they were using something other than a standard alert box and I couldn't figure out what it was. I will play with this over the weekend and hopefully I can work it out as the code I have written needs this type of alert box to work the way I want it to. Derek, I looked at the source from the sdk page and found that they were using a css file and th ...Show All

• hazz DataGrid, threading and refreshing displayed data

  hello everyone, The main issue is that the datagrid does not receive events, or more exctly events are delayed forever. I have a worker thread that reads data from the network and assigns after processing that data , values to the table in a dataset, the table is the datasource for the datagrid. After assingning the data to the table in the dataset , the datagid does not update by itself so i call Refresh on the datagrid like this, using a delegate: _AFDataGrid.BeginInvoke( new UpdateDisplayDelegate (_AFDataGrid.Refresh)); But then, the datagrid won't receive any events, like dragging the scroll bars, or clicking a cell (this should display a context menu). My guess is that i get to much information from the stream and r ...Show All

• Peter Feigl Help with Invoke on CF

  I have been trying to nail this problem for a week now, but can't seem to get it right. I am building a Jabber application for the PocketPC and am using a third-party component for n-software. The n-software component does the usual things: expose a connect method, but also an OnSync event that fires when the device has logged into the Jabber server successfully. The OnSync THEN downloads the Jabber Roster (ala MyBuddies). Once I have these buddies, I want to parse them and put them, by group, into a TreeView. The issue is the old threading problem. I can't get the TreeView to load the Roster. ANy help would be appreciated... THANKS.

• Tailor Tray a VB application on Mobile Device

  I am trying to figure out how to Tray a running application using Visual Basic.  I have found alot of info and even the sample code for doing such a thing, but they are all written in C. I would like for the program to start, then then have a button in the Form that will then "Tray" the application, and then when they "click" the Tray Icon it would restore the form.   Any help would be appreciated...

• markdrury Account lockout

  Hi everyone, I know when you have a few failed request to the MSN Spaces API that you are locked out for 24 hours, but I just wanted to complain about it some more. 24 hours of no development is a real strain when you have deadlines to meet. I would ask the MSN Spaces developers of the world to join with me in the crusade to get one or both of the following: 1) A different message when you are locked out (something other than 'Access Denied') 2) Get the lockout time down to an hour or two. If we could get both, that would be awesome. So, who's with me And who from MSN can make these very simple changes ...Show All

• Howard43147 BinaryReader.Close() does not return from call

  Hello I'm going to start by presenting the scenario first. I am developing a multithreaded application where i open a connection to a server and continuously read from the stream in one thread with code similar to this public void Runner() while(isRunning){ m_input.Read(data,0,data.Length); } } Now, on the main Form of the application i display data that i read from the stream and i have a button that can disconnect from the server ( the server works as a module inside http server, and the stream is actually obtained by making a HttpWebRequest and getting the response stream ). The code looks similar to this public void disconnect() { isRunning=false; if(m_input!=null){ m_input.Close(); //this is the ...Show All

• yeowsing Right-Click Select and Zoom

  Has anyone managed to get this functionality to work. I want to have the ability to Right-Click and Hold anywhere on the map select an area and them zoom into it. I know there is the alt+click and the middle-click but a lot of your average users don't think of these methods. Most will try to use the method I'm trying to work out. I got a good part of it worked out, but I need to figure out how to override the click event on the VEMap Object, or how to get from the View returned the event I'm working with. So I can test for right-click on the onMouseDown event.
