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.

- Emoticons Okay, thanks for clarifying. Yes, the platform does support sending custom emoticons. Try this: Code Block function CreateEmoticonTag(INTERNAL_FILENAME) ABSOLUTE_PLATFORM_PATH = InternalPathToPlatformPath(INTERNAL_FILENAME) return "<emoticon file=\"" + ABSOLUTE_PLATFORM_PATH + "\"/>" This will display an emoticon, which the user can right-click on to download.

- Can you change Pin icon dynamically Hi, I am writing an application to display images on a map using Virtual Earth, and would like to change the colour of an associated pin when the user rolls the mouse over an image on a web page. The VEPushPin class doesn't have an icon property, only allowing you to set the icon in the constructor. As far as I can tell there are two options: 1. Add a new pin with a different icon in the same spot, and delete the old pin. 2. Inspect the HTML using javascript to obtain a reference to the img object used in the pin, and change the icon using the .src property. Neither strike me as being particularly nice or robust. Does anyone have a more elegant solution Thanks your help! Tag: Map Control position

- Output to text for use on blog? Well to be honest it doesnt really need to be a mashup. All I want is to display the Current Status info and the Last Seen info on my blog. The ideal way to do it would be in html in iframe format so i can just add it to the blog actually. The only reason I thought of doing it with a mashup was because there is already a block that extracts that information from xbox live and I dont know of any other way to get that information.

- LiveID control hosted within IFRAME Say I write a web application that requires LiveID signin. This web application should be hosted within another web application as IFRAME. Something along the following lines: <body> <iframe src="http://www.mydomain.com/liveidauth.aspx" ></iframe> </body> Is this possible It appears that this is not possible due to the way redirects work. After signing in, I am not back within the IFRAME, but in a new window. Thank you! Tag: Map Control position

- How to allow unlimited number of users of a MSN Messenger bot? I have now used the DotMSN library ( http://www.xihsolutions.net/dotmsn/ ) to write a bot that communicates with an application on my server. This worked fine until the number of users of the bot reached 1500. It seems that the bot is allowed to have only 1500 contacts on its allowed list. I guess this is a limit from the Messenger protocol Is there a way to create a bot with more than 1500 users I bot needs to allow unlimited number of users.. Can someone recommend me a solution to this Is there a library or a supplier which will allow unlimited number of users of the bot Thanks in advance. Tag: Map Control position

- Activity Pane not loading page I am in the process of adding the activity pane to my bot. I get the invite to open the pane and when I accept the pane opens...says connecting briefly and then I get just a blank page...all white. Just wondering the best way to troubleshoot this...currently I'm just trying to have it navigate to www.microsoft.com . If you want to see the behavior the bot is afcichat@hotmail.com just type loadpage to have it execute the page drive. Any ideas would be appreciated. ps: After doing a netmon trace I see the client request Http: Request, GET /7MEAPPSDIR/1 which returns a 301 moved permanently and redirects to Location: http://www.microsoft.com but rather than a get for ms.com I see : Http: Request, GET /p4activity/activity.htm from this host: Host: francois.huet.free.fr I don't know where it got that host name...anyway from there it gets all 304 not modified as a response Tag: Map Control position

- Variable in setCustomIcon ? The Interactive SDK> Customize SHapes>Add Custom shapes example displays the custom icon with the text "Shape" plus it's ID. Here is the source: var icon = "<div style='font-size:12px;font-weight:bold;border olid 2px Black;background-color:Aqua;width:50px;'>Shape</div>"; However, I cant find anywhere in the source where the ID number is added to the word "Shape" that is between the DIV tags. My problem is that I need to use text from another control on the page and place it where the "Shape" word is between the DIV tags, but I cant figure out how . I have tried: pin3.SetCustomIcon("<div><script>document.write(document.getElementById('User2').value);</script></div>"); and to simplify by removing the reference to the other control: pin3.SetCustomIcon("<div><script>document.write('testing');</script></div>"); Both of these scripts work fine in a normal <div> tag but neither works when wrapped inside the SetCustomIcon method. I am hoping that if I can see how the SDK example is adding a variable between the DIV tags, I might figure out a better approach.....uhh...one that works! Tag: Map Control position

- Recording the start and end location of a route. I am trying to record the start and end location of a route. I see that the GetRoute method is supposed to return a VERoute object, and I know that i have to get this information from this object. The question I have is how to actually store the VERoute object that is returned. From the documentation I tried two options, but neither of them work: Option 1: var myRoute = map.GetRoute("Space Needle", "Microsoft", null, null, null; var start = myRoute.StartLocation.LatLong; var end = myRoute.EndLocation.LatLong; Option 2: ... map.GetRoute("Space Needle", "Microsoft", null, null, "onRouteReturned"); ... //later on in the code function onRouteReturned( myRoute ) { var start = myRoute.StartLocation.LatLong; var end = myRoute.EndLocation.LatLong; } I'm also new to javascript, so maybe I am completely off base. Any help would be appreciated. Tag: Map Control position

- What is stopping Virtual Earth 3D from downloading/installing? It's difficult to debug this remotely, but there are many things that might interfere with the control loading correctly. In addition to security programs, many new systems come loaded with lots of unnessecary toolbars and other browser extentions that might be messing you up. I would go through and uninstall any browser extensions you're not actually using. If that still doesn't help, you can turn on logging and post your log, that might provide enough information to see what's going on. Go to the following directory: C:\Documents and Settings\YourUserName\Application Data\Microsoft\Virtual Earth 3D (on Vista it's slightly different, it's under Users/LocalLow). You should see a file named user.config. Open in any text editor (like notepad) and add the following lines immediately after <Microsoft.MapPoint.Rendering3D.Properties.Settings>: <setting name="Logging" serializeAs="String"> <value>True</value> </setting> When you start the app the next time, a log file will be created in the directory: C:\Documents and Settings\YourUserName\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Virtual Earth 3D Post the log file when you're done.

- Why no return value from a Block? Can anyone tell me why the "Test_Rtn" block is not returning a value What am I doing wrong The Mashup that uses it is "Test_for_Test_Rtn". Both the block and mashup are shared under my Popfly user id (DonG). I'm working on a more complex block that refuses to return a value, so I created the Test_Rtn block to simply test return values. I am obviously doing something wrong, but no matter how I code it, it refuses to return a value. Thanks in advance for your assistance with this!

- Q's, Probs, Bugs - Photo Display Blocks Howdy Andy, Thank you for your reply. Carousel: I think it (and the Globe) blocks are just plain "cool" 3-D type displays, which is probably why so many folks want to use them . They are different and not seen every day on the web. Fonts: That's too bad about Silverlight not using CSS. Hope this is temporary. "Images In PhotoTiles: Clicking on the image in photo tiles does just "zoom in" on that image which will make thumbnails (such as profile pictures) very ugly." This isn't just a problem with PhotoTiles but all of the photo display blocks I've tried. So, what you're saying is that when the Facebook block is used to obtain photo album pictures, all it returns are the thumbnail images, and not the full-size photos That just doesn't sound right. JPEG Compression: Off the top of my head 20% seems like a low quality rate , That's 20% compression ... the picture is thus 80% of normal. I've been using 15-20% ever since buying a digital camera back in the late 90's without any problems. Though i still have to answer some questions. I look forward to your suggestions / answers Andy, especially about the three block problem.

- Budget Limit Type: Daily Hi, I just had a talk with a keyword manager who pointed out that choosing Divide daily across month as the spend limit at campaign level doesn't always work. It happened a few times that the budget was spent 3 or 4 days before the end of the month, campaigns were then automatically stopped, to the client's surprise. Could it be possible to have a daily spend limit to ensure full control over how the budget is consumed Is this in your todo list Regards, Julien Tag: Map Control position

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.

Hi Derek,
I am talking of the nav control available on the Map. Earlier(in v2) this control was positioned at the top right of the map and now with the new version its positioned at the left. So does the SDK allow me to position this nav control so that I can place it at any required position on the Map.
Thanks,
Sampat.

You can put in where ever you like with simple css positioning:
<style type="text/css"> .dashboard {top:200px!important; left:200px!important;} </style>The trick is you have to make sure this css is after the build in VE css styles, in FF the "!important" works, in IE make sure this is the last thing in your <head>
