MapForums

I work with mappoint since few month. It's very simple to use but I have two problem :
- I need to draw on the map. Actually I draw on the map but I need to manage the redraw. Is it possible to get the Device context of the map?

- The application runs on an embedded computer so sometimes the computer slow down and I have the message box "Busy Server, Retry ..."
I find some solution but only in VB but not in C++. How to do this?

Thanks for your reply

Hi,

The 'busy server' is when your application does not respond within 10 seconds in an event.

Thanks for the reply. I know why "busy server" appears. In fact in my application, mappoint is only a small part so sometime during 10 second they are no respond. I try to work with "COleMessageFilter" to change the DCOM Timeouts but without succes.

Hi,

You should quickly exit every event of mappoint component. If you have lengthy things to do then do it outside the event. Note that showing a form or a menu is out of the question. Best is to post a message to a custom event handler to get an exeution outside the event.

I dont know of course how this all works out in the embedded system you use.
