    - ShowDetailOnMouseOver I followed the clustering tutorial found at http://www.viavirtualearth.com/vve/Articles/Clustering2.ashx and highly recommend this tutorial as it answered all the questions I had in the application I was creating. However, this tutorial was created using the Virtual Earth v 4.0. I am trying to upgrade to the 5.0 version but can't find a similar property "ShowDetailOnMouseOver" for the Pushpin. I see that the VEPushpin method has been changed to the VEShape class, but no luck on a "ShowDetailOnMouseOver" or equivalent property. Thanks! Tag: Automatically refresh a PhotoTile?

    - Custom shapes I am trying to add a custom control over a number of locations on the map. This control looks like a little titlebar. When clicked, the bar grows into a dialog box with lots of buttons and stuff for interacting with the object at that geographic point via httprequest calls. I can make the title bar appear over the object by adding a new shape at the location and setting the custom icon to be the control's source html. Sadly, the control's event handlers no longer work. And when I hover the mouse over the control, the shape's description box opens. Is there some way to disable the description box from popping up Also, is there a way to get my event handlers to work Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    - window.ero.setBoundingArea in v5 Trying to incorporate dynamic content for a shape's popup window. In version 4, this was the way you could get a reference to the default popup div. Code Snippet window.ero.setBoundingArea( new Microsoft.Web.Geometry.Point(0,0), new Microsoft.Web.Geometry.Point(document.body.clientWidth, document.body.clientHeight + 600)); alert(2); window.ero.setContent( "<div id='" + DivID + "'>Loading...</div>" ); window.ero.dockToElement(e); Is this still the correct way to do this in version 5 As when I run this script, I never get to the alert(2); line.

    - Collection no longer working? I have a very basic embedded map that displayed an overlayed VE collection. Sometime last week it stopped working though I made no changes to my source page. Now, when a user loads the page, the base map comes up properly but instead of loading the collection, I get a message overlayed "Error: Unable to load source file". Here's a snippet of the source: <p>Our dive sites...</p> <div id='myMap' style="position:relative; width:600px; height:400px;"></div> <div id="txtSource" type="text" value="860EE197209E1905!162" name="txtSource"> <div id="loadCollection" type="button" value="Map our dives" onclick="AddMyLayer(VEDataType.VECollection);"> <p> I noticed that even the VE SDK page that I used as a reference when creating mine has the same basic problem. My collection still exists (I can load it on local.live.com) and I've tried plugging in other collection IDs into my page, all with the same result. I've also tried setting my script src to use the new v6 control. Any thoughts on how to get my collection to show up again Tag: Automatically refresh a PhotoTile?

The contest ran from May 15th to September 15th and in the end 53 Messenger bots were accepted as valid entries in the contest ( per the how to compete guidelines ). Each entry to the contest was judge by three judges separately using the Judging Criteria outlined on the How to Compete page and then the judges scores were averaged. There were a lot of great robot's submitted but here's the winners: Title Prize LiveBot Grand Mother Nature 1st Spleak 2nd Mobile Record bot 2nd Virtual Secretary 2nd Dr Phile Knowledge 2nd Comtec Travel Bot 2nd Search Bunny 3rd Live Recipe Bot (Food processor) 3rd InvestWiser 3rd Gwaam Bot 3rd Perfect Boyfriend Bot 3rd Project management Consultant 3rd World of Alice 3rd InsideMessenger 3rd DFWEBBOT 3rd EncourageBot v1.0 3rd Please note that this list of winners is pending the winners being notified in writing and verifying in writing that they want to accept their prize. So for example, if the creator of the LiveBot decided not to accept the Grand Prize, then everyone on the list would move up in the ranking based on their winning entries score from the judges and a new entry would be added into the 3rd prize category. In the event somebody elects not to accept their prize, we'll notify everyone of the changes in prize rankings. Please note if you submitted more than 1 entry in the contest, your highest scoring entry was used to determine prize eligibility. Congratulations!

I'm trying to fetch images from a web page which constantly gets updated with new images and then have these images displayed within a PhotoTile or similar block with the help of a timer. But the ImageScraper block doesn't seem to update with the new images, nothing actually happens, and when I leverage the DirectImageScraper it just adds images to the already existing ones.

I need some way to clear the array of already existing images in the PhotoTile viewer or just add additional images, please suggest

Regards

Re: Automatically refresh a PhotoTile?

AndyS

Hi,

If you want a continous update you could try using the Timer block at the start of your mashup, it can be configured to set of an event every so many seconds which will cause the block it is connected to to run which will then cause photo tiles to be updated.
