clickable world map 8

[peterve]

Hi all,

I want to include a world map in my VB.Net application.
The map needs to be clickable (based on countries) and I want to have the option to fill each country in a different country

Does anyone have an idea on how to do this ?

thanks

P

I've found another way of doing it
I have a database with all of the coordinates of every country in the world, so I can draw the map of the world and save it as a bitmap.
Based upon data in my database, I need to fill a specific country with a specific colour, and allow the user to click the country
Solution : I've created an imagemap, with areas that are clickable (based upon the same polygon areas that are used to draw the countries). THe imagemap uses the original bitmap as background image.
Last but not least : I'm drawing the countries will a FillPolygon when the colour needs to be changed.

Very nice! Don't know if I'll ever get a chance to use it either but definately worth a star from me for the effort and the "theory" behind it.

I am having problems open your .sln file what version did you build this in?
Thanks

To go where no programmer has gone before.

Most likely a later version than yours. If you can see the code at all, copy it, and paste it into your new project.

 

[ThatRickGuy]

I built it at school, I think they have 2k3. But you should be able to create a new solution in 2k2 and add the form class to it.
