ToolTips Layers

[Patricia]

Hello,
Currently we are using the map control FormsMap (via web service). When we used the old map control (Map&Guide versión 5) this control automatically show tooltips where hovering the mouse on Pois, streets, zip codes, counties, etc. How can we enable theses tooltips with then new control (FormsMap via web service)?
Thanks

Hello Patricia,

technically the Basemap element for xMapServer has no tooltips, as these are only bitmaps. The solution for xServer.NET (or any interactive client) would be to do a reverse-gecoding when the mouse pointer doesn't move for a while. I can do a little demo for this use-case next week.

Hello Patricia,

i've added a sample "BasemapTooltips" to

https://github.com/ptv-logistics/xservernet-bin

The sample has a class that adds a tool tip function by calling xLocate:findLocation whenever the mouse is moved. As i said, the xServer.NET control doesn't to this by itself.
