    - Different result in each find Interesting, a different set gets brought back by VE on each yellowpage search. Perhaps this is being caused because there are too many results being brought back by searching on "campus" Sample code to duplicate: Code Block <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" " http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd "> <html> '>http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd "> <html> ; <head> <title></title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"> <script type="text/javascript" src=" http://dev.virtualearth.net/mapcontrol/mapcontrol.ashx v=6"></script > <script type="text/javascript"> var map = null; function GetMap() { map = new VEMap('myMap'); map.LoadMap(); map.Find('Campus', 'New york,New york,United States', null, null, 0, 10, null, null, false, null, MoreResults) } function MoreResults(e) { } </script> </head> <body onload="GetMap();"> <div id='myMap' style="position:relative; width:400px; height:400px;"></div> </body> </html> Refresh the page several time and a different set of results get loaded Anyone else have any ideas Tag: why WLM doesn't call CreateTextService?

    - How do I add a pushpin without... Thanks for the reply brian. But with your piece of code I won't be able to show any popup......... my intention is to disable the default popup and write a custom popup when a user hovers the mouse over the push pin............. makes sense. Also I know you can custom fit the default popup.......... but I want to get the data on demand and show the popup. Thanks, Csunrae Tag: why WLM doesn't call CreateTextService?

    - Specifying a postcode only (Australia) That's really strange, b/c I'm 100% sure it worked a couple weeks ago. Oh well... ghost in the machine I guess. Thanks for that bit of code - at least it works and it's much more userfriendly now. It also works if the user were to enter "Aus" or "Australia" themselves. I'm in Sydney.

    - Features and Improvements for ViaVirtualEarth.com I agree with Brian, and in particular the bug register, that I am sure will aid many who are new to developing VE Maps, and prevent much frustration when code doesn＊t work, as it should, due to a bug. It is interesting, as no one likes details of bugs being published. I remember Borland publishing a list of bugs in Windows 95 soon after it was released, which was shipped as a help file with their compilers. On this subject it would be greatly appreciated if Microsoft were to indicate on a bug-by-bug basis, when a fix is likely to be available. On this subject also I have found that different answers are being given, depending on whom you speak to at Microsoft. The sales people at Microsoft are particularly guilty, to the extent that some are quoting from a wish list, rather than what is to appear in the next release. This is serious as it disrupts future planning, software architecture design, and can lead to the end customer inadvertently being mislead. As with all these types of matters two-way communication is key. At present there is little, or no two-way communication between Microsoft, and the forum, in fact they appear since VE version 5 was released to have gone into hibernation, particularly with regard to the memory leak! I thought the VE development team where based in North America, or have they emigrated on mass to Australia, in which case they may be suffering from hibernation jetlag! What would be nice to see is a tip＊s, and tricks section so that those developers less experienced, could benefit from the accumulated knowledge, and be productive quicker without so much personal R&D. With regard to the forum it seems to be working well, a central point of help I believe is important, and duplication would only confuse matters. The content and quality of the SDK I would say is mixed, and what the forum does show up clearly is where there are gaps in the SDK documentation, by the many repeat questions that are being asked over, and over again. Lastly I would like to say how useful ViaVirtualEarth.com website has been, and the many interesting articles on the site. I look forward to the improvements, and more contributions by the VE community. Duncan Garratt Tag: why WLM doesn't call CreateTextService?

    - Suggestion Req. 每 how to overlay USA Radar? Oops, just noticed something - mapcruncher can be run from the command line, so it might be possible to set up a script that periodically downloads new radar images and their corner coordinates, generates a mapcruncher config file, runs mapcruncher, and then overwrites the old tiles with the fresh ones. Kind of a roundabout way of doing things, but it may be the easiest way. Tag: why WLM doesn't call CreateTextService?

    - Tile Server and Security Your custom tiles are requested directly from the client in javascript. So for example if those tiles were secured to your network, or by authentication, then you would quite happily have a secured way of functioning. Except that if the information is transmitted across a public network it can be intercepted and read, just like anything on the internet. The usual solution is SSL. Unfortunatly you cannot run VE under SSL, serving that many images would be a performance nightmare. If your tiles and any data is restricted to your company network this is usually an accepted solution. John. Tag: why WLM doesn't call CreateTextService?

    - Map Control position Sampat wrote: Hi, Is there a way where in I could move the map control from the left hand side to the top as it was earlier (with version 2 of Mapcontrol.js). If yes can you please send me the code snippet. Thanks, Sampat. If I understand exactly what your saying is that you want the v3 dashboard to be positioned (and probably look similar) to the v2 dashboard. I mean you could hack the API to position the v3 dashboard to be in the center, but it'll overlap the center of the map which will look really ugly. As to reverting to a v2 dashboardish style with v3 functionality, I don't think thats possible. Tag: why WLM doesn't call CreateTextService?

    - SDK Recommendations I would suggest that you contact your local Microsoft office with a view to becoming a VE partner or link up with an existing partner. I think you will find that Microsoft pricing is extremely competitive for Intraweb applications which is on a per user per annum basis. Depending on the number of users Microsoft pricing could be significantly cheaper than Google. Duncan Garratt http://www.gis-logic.co.uk/ Tag: why WLM doesn't call CreateTextService?

    - Virtual Earth printing Maps This issue is not fixed in v5. This issue was reported a long time ago, but I have never seen a resolution. When I first come to a page with a map displayed using Firefox and I print the page, it works fine. If I move the map and try to print again, the custom pushpins, Virtual Earth logo (in the lower left corner) and map scale and copyright info (in the lower right corner) all print, but the map tiles don't. Sorry, Numair. I wish I had better news. Walt Tag: why WLM doesn't call CreateTextService?

    - newbie question: SOLAP, connecting VE to SQL SERVER 2005 for GeoRSS data? Hi Brian, the way I'm doing this now is as follows (you could just as easily do the same thing with an asmx) a) Layer source specification URL is an HttpHandler (.ashx) with a return content type of text/xml b) In the querystring, pass parameters so the handler knows what to fetch c) Handler calls a SQL stored procedure with FOR XML AUTO, ELEMENTS d) using ExecuteXmlReader(), read the results into an XPathDocument e) Depending on your usage scenario, cache the document as needed to help with further db calls for the same data f) Send the XPath doc on to an XSLT where the .xsl style sheet is determined by what storedProc value was passed to the original call. You could further extend / parameterize this step to give your users a high degree of flexibility in terms of personalizing the display based on the results of the underlying data (i.e., they could adjust at what threshold in the data certain icons are displayed as Red dots or whatnot) g) execute the .Transform(), sending the results to the underlying output stream (context.Response.output) of the HttpHandler and that's it Code Snippet public class VE_SQL_GeoRSS_Xslt : IHttpHandler { public void ProcessRequest ( HttpContext context { context.Response.ContentType = "text/xml" ; SqlDataAccessLayer dal = new SqlDataAccessLayer (); dal.GetGeoRssData(context.Request.QueryString[ "serviceToCall" ]); } public bool IsReusable { get { return false ; } } } (other code omitted...I am passing storedProc as a variable for the procedure to be called) using ( SqlConnection oConn = new SqlConnection (YourConnectionString)) { using ( SqlCommand oCmd = new SqlCommand ()) { oCmd.Connection = oConn; oCmd.CommandType = CommandType .StoredProcedure; oCmd.CommandText = storedProc; oConn.Open(); using ( XmlReader xr = oCmd.ExecuteXmlReader()) { XPathDocument xpd = new XPathDocument (xr); context.Cache.Insert(storedProc, xpd, null , DateTime .Now.AddMinutes(120), System.Web.Caching. Cache .NoSlidingExpiration); TransformSqlXmlResults( ref xpd, storedProc); } } } public void TransformSqlXmlResults( ref XPathDocument outputXPathDoc, string procedureCalled) { XslCompiledTransform xslt = new XslCompiledTransform (); switch (procedureCalled) { case "stored_proc1" : xslt.Load(context.Server.MapPath( "../XslStyleSheets/StyleSheet1.xsl" )); break ; default : break ; } xslt.Transform(outputXPathDoc, null , context.Response.Output); } Tag: why WLM doesn't call CreateTextService?

    - WPF App using VE maps Hi, I have to create an application using VE maps in WPF, the problem is that I can't get the map images to put them in a polygon. I've tried using the VE maps Control inside a WebBrowser control using interop, but the problem with this solution is that I can't draw WPF shapes on top of the WebBrowser control since it uses a diferent airspace from WPF. I even tried to look at the html generated by the map to see if I could grab the images somehow drawing the control offscreen, but it seems that the control renders with in memory HTML. From what I've seen the SDK only talks about the control, i s there any othe process I can use to get the images Thanks, Bruno Silva Multivector TI Tag: why WLM doesn't call CreateTextService?

    - Route Blue Line - Custom I'm sorry I was not clear before. What I want to be able to do is trigger the ability to draw the line that actually follows the road by giving it a bunch of points of say a vehicle on the road, rather than using a polyline that draws straight lines between pins etc. And yes, I believe multipoint routing would allow me to get there by a non-direct method, I was hoping for a way to do it directly through the API, so its not a route at all just a "trail" Tag: why WLM doesn't call CreateTextService?

    - How can i restrict pushpins displaying after searching? Hi, No jeff, after finding the results i want those results to be displayed in a panel like in local.live.com and the user if required can add those pushpins into the scratchpad. At that time only i need that pushpin to be displayed in the map. else the other thing i can do is. When pushpin is added i cant able to catch the event of mousehover over those find results pushpins in the map. if i can catch the mousehover event for those pushpins , then its ok. thanks sarath Tag: why WLM doesn't call CreateTextService?

I am programming with WLM 8.1.

Now I have a problem that ,in order to get or change input text in IMWindowClass, I hook "loadlibary" and check dll name,if it was named "Riched20.dll", I got CreateTextService function point and load ms riched20.dll. This way is available to msn 7,

But it is not available to WLM 8.I hooked CreateTextService ,but WLm 8 seems to not call CreateTextService function.

Could you tell me how to solve this problem

thank you .

Unfortunatly I can't give you this information.

All I can say is that WLM uses a special library called DirectUI to create the interface, including the text boxes and stuff. The library is not public.

If you want to get the text typed in the conversation window, why don't you try to make an Add-In That's probably much easier.
