My company is evaluating the desktop and geocoder editions of thingeo's GIS software for integration into our software suite. I have been tinkering with the map and geocoder APIs for a few days now and can not seem to figure out how to accomplish simple hover functionality. I am pinning pointShapes to the map with something like:
PointShape pointShape = new PointShape(geocoderMatches[0].NameValuePairs["CentroidPoint"]);
winformsMap1.Overlays["MarkerOverlay"].Lock.EnterWriteLock();
try
{
markerLayer.EditTools.BeginTransaction();
markerLayer.EditTools.Add(new Feature(pointShape));
markerLayer.EditTools.CommitTransaction();
}
finally
{
winformsMap1.Overlays["MarkerOverlay"].Lock.ExitWriteLock();
}
I would like to add logic to my application so that when a user hovers his/her mouse pointer over a pointShape on the map he/she is presented with a tool tip or popup window with text describing the pointShape's location on the map (house number, street name, city, state, etc). This seems easy enough to do with the silverlight and web suites but I can not figure out a good way to accomplish this with the desktop edition or the geocoder API's. Am I missing something?
