I'm using mappoint europe 2004 and i'm trying to let it work alongside visual basic 6.0
In msdn there's this line
"Dim objApp As New MapPoint.Application"
when I want to use it vb says the following: "User-defined type not defined"
what am I doing wrong? :s

try using the findresults function on the ActiveMap. Read the documentation ( last point programming with mappoint ). If you have your references checked, press F1 to get more infos

Dim objApp As New MapPoint.Application
Dim objFindResults As MapPoint.FindResults

'Anwendung einrichten
objApp.Visible = True
objApp.UserControl = True

'Erstes Ergebnis der Suche ausgeben
Set objFindResults = objApp.ActiveMap.FindResults("Seattle, WA")
MsgBox "Das erste Element in der Ergebnisliste lautet: " _
+ objFindResults.Item(1).Name

If you have any questions just ask.

ok thx
the previous code you gave me is fine but it doesn't put any pushpin on my map? i was looking for that online but nothing could help me out of my problem.
i'm working with a map in visual basic itself and the code is only based on a map outside visual basic...

To add a pushpin on the map, there's a function called "AddPushpin". All you need is a location object, like the one you get from the Findresults-Collection.

The help file VB reference is very useful.

First you'll have to search for an address, then you pick one from the findresults-collection, then add the item as pushpin and then make a zoom and that's it

Of course you can change the symbol of the pushpin and add some text to the pushpin.note and show it.

Perhaps you can make a search for mappoint.hlp -> there is also some good advice in it. I still find a lot of things I can put into my application.

I'm looking forward to Mappoint 2005 - I hope there's a lot more cool stuff in it then

Errm - what do you mean? Two maps?
