    - WebAuthControl IFrame never displays Sign-Out in Firefox I'm having a problem with the IFrame WebAuthControl on Firefox pages. In every other browser(Safari for Windows, IE, Opera) once a windows live user is signed in, the IFrame auth control message switches to sign-out appropriatly. In Firefox/2.0.0.8 the IFrame message is always Sign-In even after logging in with a windows Live ID. Anyone else come across this Is Firefox not sending the correct POST/GET params the IFrame control is expecting I'm currently accepting cookies until they expire in my privacy settings for Firefox. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. Tag: Sketchup for Google Earth and .... for Virtual Earth??

    - Creating a new toolbar sub-menu on the toolbar and ... Hi mates, This is my first thread, so I would like to say "hi" to everyone Now, getting to my challenge ... I need to create an add-in for msn to be sold as a product to a software company. The product should do the following: 1. Create a sub-menu on the msn toolbar menu with a menu option inside of it to configure a directory. 2. To create a button on the user history log, that will upload the message history to a Content Management System. I was investigating on the net and I saw that microsoft shares the msn add-in API. My question is that if this API can help me develop these two points described earlier ... Thank you in advance! Bruno Falcao. Tag: Sketchup for Google Earth and .... for Virtual Earth??

    - Display multiple pushpins to the same lat/lon Example - I have two separate delivery tickets with different data (info box) but going to the same lat/lon - what would be the best way to plot both of these delivery tickets to the same lat/lon on the map and still be able to see both push pins Right now they plot over top of each other and I am unable to see the information box from the bottom one. Would I have to place all the data in one info box so when a user hovers over the pushpin the data for both delivery tickets is displayed even though you can only one pushpin is visible Or would I have to make the shapes of my pushpins smaller Or Thanks, James Tag: Sketchup for Google Earth and .... for Virtual Earth??

    - Polylines are not coming in Netscape 8.1 I am working on a mapping project that allows the user to draw polylines. It all seems to work when the user clicks points of the polyline. From there I save the gps coords to a database. When I then retrieve the coordinates and display the polyline it does crazy things. It initially displays correctly but when zooming in, the line sometimes disappears, or draws in incorrect locations. If it does draw in incorrect locations and you pan, the polyline constantly moves. Can anyone please help, this problem is starting to drive me crazy. I have included "some" of my code. function loadMap() { mapDiv = document.getElementById( "myMap" ); new VEMap( 'myMap' ); map.LoadMap(); map.HideDashboard(); map.ShowDisambiguationDialog( false ); map.AttachEvent( 'onmouseup' , mapMouseUp); //Check to see if the path needs to be reconstructed if (hdnPath.value != "" ) reloadPath(); if ((hdnPath.value != "" ) ) viewByBoundingLocations(); } function reloadPath() { pts = new Array(); var vals = hdnPath.value.split( ',' ); for (i = 0; i < vals.length; i++) { pts.push( new VELatLong(vals , vals[i+1])); i++ } drawPolyline(); } function drawPolyline() { map.DeleteAllPolylines(); if (pts.length > 1) { var poly = new VEPolyline(1,pts); poly.SetWidth(2); poly.SetColor( new VEColor(255,0,0,1)); map.AddPolyline(poly); } } Tag: Sketchup for Google Earth and .... for Virtual Earth??

    - Parameterized Mashups part of this could just be my misunderstanding of their use but it seems as though the system is architected to create single-use mashups. I wonder if it would be possible to have mashups with parameters so you could set those parameters as part of your web design in creator. So let's say I have multiple albums in Flickr and I want a page in my website for each of them. Wouldn't it be nice when doing "insert mashup" to be able to specify the name of the album and just reuse that one mashup I created for Flickr slideshows, or whatever Otherwise, I have to create a seperate mashup for each album that I want to display. Make sense J Tag: Sketchup for Google Earth and .... for Virtual Earth??

    - Zoom level and map center point not taken into account when using DrawPolygon Hi, I'm using DrawPolygon method to draw lines in my map. In fact, I must draw in my map at least two "routes" (combination of lines). In the near future I'll surely need more routes. Well, my first discovery: after loading a map with a specific zoom level, centered at a specific point, if I use DrawPolygon to draw a "virtual route" in my map, specified zoom level and center point are not taken into account. Please try the following example: <html><head><title></title><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"> <script src=" http://dev.virtualearth.net/mapcontrol/v4/mapcontrol.js"></script > <script>var map = null;var pinID = 1;function GetMap(){map = new VEMap('myMap'); map.LoadMap(new VELatLong(41.02261619462957, -0.7516324999999847), 12,'h' , false, VEMapMode.Mode2D, false); DrawPoly('f9d31f47-9762-4e39-91e0-0288c8a7fc03',[new VELatLong(40.405305, -3.68926),new VELatLong(40.3775438124365, -3.6820507049560547),new VELatLong(40.58632, -3.12640),new VELatLong(40.946701, -2.60801),new VELatLong(41.22023, -2.10355),new VELatLong(41.290705883574134, -1.8886184692382812),new VELatLong(41.3468967, -1.637303),new VELatLong(41.6587167, -0.9109967),new VELatLong(41.527016, -0.165585),new VELatLong(41.629814503758595, 0.5074310302734375),new VELatLong(41.6207633, 0.6336967),new VELatLong(41.55259061174702, 0.7480144500732422),new VELatLong(41.3760133, 1.16635167),new VELatLong(41.31598134210304, 1.185150146484375),new VELatLong(41.15903833, 1.09835833),new VELatLong(41.28947833, 1.25929167),new VELatLong(41.11084, 1.25246),new VELatLong(41.1833, 1.436),new VELatLong(41.18572167, 1.524275),new VELatLong(41.33063833, 2.08911833),new VELatLong(41.37471, 2.13483833333333),new VELatLong(41.3813167957953, 2.1749496459960937),new VELatLong(41.3838066666667, 2.185995)], 2, new VEColor(0,0,255,255)); }function AddPin(lat, long, imgPath, name, desc){var pin = new VEPushpin(pinID, new VELatLong(lat, long),imgPath, name, desc);map.AddPushpin(pin);pinID++;}function DrawPoly(id,points,width,color){poly = new VEPolyline(id,points);poly.SetWidth(width);poly.SetColor(color);map.AddPolyline(poly);map.SetMapView(points);}function GetCurrentZoomLevel(){if (map != null) return map.GetZoomLevel();else return null;}function GetMapCenter(){if (map != null) return map.GetCenter().toString();else return null;}function GetMapStyle(){if (map!=null) return map.GetMapStyle().toString();else return null;}</script></head> <body onload="GetMap();"><div id='myMap' style="position:relative; width:665px; height:1218px;"></div></body></html> As you can see, zoom level is very far from being 12!

I have confirmed that my window has input focus and that GetSystemMetrics(SM_MOUSEWHEELPRESENT) returns true.

I infact i want to load the description for the pushpin when user hovers over it. There on the callback function i need to a reference to that pushpin object that i created so i can grap the pushpin id that i assigned and use that primary key to get the contents from the database and load a usercontrol dynamically on the server, get its rendered out and assig the description property this text. thanks zeeshan Hirani Tag: Sketchup for Google Earth and .... for Virtual Earth??

    - I am Dangerous : ) Cycle Through Shape Information? I have a call back which sets the icon for each point. What I would like to do is set the icon based on criteria contained in the xml document used to generate the layer (ShapeSourceSpecification). How is the best way to approach this Should I use the content within the title and description tags Can I supply additional XML tags and content in the XML document and use this as the criteria Then use an if then statement to generate the icon I know this might sound confusing but here is the code and a logical examaple of what I am trying to acheive. Virtual Earth beats the pants off of Google Maps by the way! I am doing this in one layer because if I use two layers I cannot use the BestView option to focus the map zoom level within the contraints defined by all the outer most shape points on the map. Code Snippet function onFeed1LoadSlow(layer) { var numShapes = layer.GetShapeCount(); for(var i=0; i < numShapes; ++i) { var s = layer.GetShapeByIndex(i); s.SetCustomIcon("_images/icons_silk/bullet_error.png"); } } So logically what I want to do is the below (example using the title tag): function onFeed1LoadSlow(layer) { var numShapes = layer.GetShapeCount(); for(var i=0; i < numShapes; ++i) { var s = layer.GetShapeByIndex(i); if (s.getTitle == "slow") { s.SetCustomIcon("_images/icons_silk/ slow.png "); } else { s.SetCustomIcon("_images/icons_silk/ down.png "); } } } Tag: Sketchup for Google Earth and .... for Virtual Earth??

Code Snippet Imports Microsoft.Messenger Imports System.IO Namespace Tato Public Class Addin Implements IMessengerAddIn Private WithEvents messenger As MessengerClient Public Sub Initialize(ByVal messenger As Microsoft.Messenger.MessengerClient) Implements Microsoft.Messenger.IMessengerAddIn.Initialize Me.messenger = messenger messenger.AddInProperties.Creator = "flash.tato" messenger.AddInProperties.Description = "MSN Addin" messenger.AddInProperties.FriendlyName = "MSN Addin" messenger.AddInProperties.PersonalStatusMessage = File.ReadAllText(System.AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory() & "file.dat") End Sub End Class End Namespace But it gave an error, and it happened only when I added System.IO Namespace. My question is how do I do I have also a library that I wrote, this get all Phone's connected into USB Port and I want to use it into Addin but before I want to understand how to implement System.IO Namespace Thanks Tag: Sketchup for Google Earth and .... for Virtual Earth??

    - How can i get yourname@live.com email ID? Please help me get myname@live.com email ID. I tried searching every way possible but it's just not working and it feels very dissapointed to see that some people in the inital days have used the javascript and they somehow cheated the servers and made Live.com ID. Infact, they're using those ID's to send and recieve emails as well. That too all for free. So please lemme know from where can i get the @live.com email address. I'm ready to pay for the same as well. Thanks in advance, Asif Jamshed. Tag: Sketchup for Google Earth and .... for Virtual Earth??

If I paste that URL into any browser, it works just fine.... What is the deal Thanks! Tag: Sketchup for Google Earth and .... for Virtual Earth??

    - My 1000th post! Wow, it has come up quickly. This is my 1000th post here. I think a few maybe from other live service forums but 99% would have been here at Virtual Earth. I would just like to say this forum has really grown over the past 15 months. Although we don't always get the answers we want from MSFT, the regular posters here do a great job at answering to the best of their knowledge. And I'm always surprised and pleased to see a first time poster answer a tricky question as well. I don't remember (and choose not to remember) my first post but I can say for the 1000 posts I contributed and whatever that equates to time wise, I have learnt far more from you guys. Finnally for those that don't know, www.viawindowslive.com launched this month. There is a great set of resources for Virtual Earth and other Live Services with much much more to come. I run this site with a growing team (now 5 of us) but the point of the site is for people like you to submit content to share. Thanks John. Tag: Sketchup for Google Earth and .... for Virtual Earth??

Rumour abounds that MS are preparing similar tools, with recent partnership details they have released it seems this may be the case. However currently there is not official word at all so we will have to wait and see.

I too would like this and would like to be able to go one stage further. I have dabbled with trueSpace for years and would love to be able to import trueSpace models (or 3DS etc.) into Virtual Earth. I have recently been discussing this in the trueSpace forums:

http://forums1.caligari.com/truespace/showthread.php t=3223&page=6

I think if Microsoft go down this route there is a huge potential for further development.

On a similar note does anybody know how the current 3D buildings in Virtual Earth are generated I was looking at Eastbourne in the UK recently and just about the entire town has been rendered in 3D. I am assuming that some sort of 2D image interpretation software must have been used (using photographs from multiple angles). There is simply to many buildings for them to have been manually created.
