Hello,

I like the world maps and the one thing i would like to find out is, is it possible to add a mouse click event so that when the user clicks on a country the name or any other information can be captured for futher use.

there is already the interactivity tool and i tried to add the mouse event click event but was unable to come up with the correct code.

could you post the code in vb.net.

Regards

Bruce.

Hi Bruce,
in the mouse up event use the following code:

    Private Sub EventSinkService_NodeMouseUp(ByVal args As NNodeMouseEventArgs)
        If args.Button = MouseButtons.Left Then
            Dim viewCoordinates As PointF = New PointF(args.X, args.Y)
            Dim sceneCoordinates As PointF = worldmap1.SceneToWorld.InvertPoint(viewCoordinates)
            Dim node As INNode = args.Node

            While (node IsNot Nothing) And (TypeOf node Is NShape = False)
                node = node.ParentNode
            End While

            If node Is Nothing Then Exit Sub

            Dim shape As NShape = TryCast(node, NShape)

            'Dim shape As NShape = TryCast(args.Node, INDiagramElement)

            MessageBox.Show(String.Format("Shape Name: '{0}', Type: '{1}'", shape.Name, CType(shape.ParentNode, NLayer).Name))

            ' mark as handled and processed to stop bubbling and processing
            args.Handled = True
        End If
    End Sub

Note how we take the type of the shape - we just look for the layer the shape is placed in. The layer of the shape is its parent node.

I hope this helps.
