Mappoint 2004 - get Longitude and Latitude values

Hello,

I'm currently trying to programm a Windows Application that
embedds a MapPointControl .

My question is, how I can retrieve the Longitude and
Latitude from a spot on the map, e.g. the Mouse position.

Unfortunately the Location Object does contain these
values but I couldn't find a way to retrieve these values.

Any suggestions?

greets

Jochen

Jochen,

Take a look at this article, with a little trig you can retrieve the
lat/lon:
http://www.mp2kmag.com/a13-extract.l....mappoint.html
You will find a port of the code to C# in the discussion area for the
article:
http://www.mp2kmag.com/mappoint/disc...pic.asp?t=3291

If you're programming with MapPoint, there's a lot on the site you
will find of value, but little of it is ported to C# yet..

Hello all, I am trying to put together a desktop application that (among other things) the latitude and longitude of an address entered into a form. I am successfully using the MapPoint Application objest to return Distance and Drive Time to a set location. Does anyone know how to extract the latitude and longitude from a location object (or route object or whatever)? Any help would be greatly appreciated, Bill

Hi, I hope this is the most relevant newsgroup for this post. I have a VB.NET app that uses the MapPoint component, and in my app I use pushpins to display/retrieve GPS locations. Occasionally, when I call: objMap.Distance(locNorthPole, locX) my code catches an exception that's raised, the exception is:

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
