Hello, Custom Buttons created via Integrated Mapping [VB, Delphi, Scripting Languages,etc] do not show up in the map. You must do the MI/MB coding inside your application button press Then you call the ID of the MI button from your button.
If you are wanting feed back like creating your own search tool [info replacement] then you must use Classes in VB or CallBacks in Delphi which your MI/MB button uses the *Calling OLE ClassName* that is in your code. You then get the mouse button up/down, lat/x, lon/y, shift key pressed and other information you extract from the returned MI string and do further processing on. Example of getting the StatusBar Text and SearchPoint [info] from MI using VB Classes www.wap3.com/download/v5CalBck.zip Follow the _HowTo.txt file to create additional Class Definations for other buttons If you need a bit more help, I'll have to modify the example at the office as I have not reinstalled VB since the last sytem upgrade here at home.
