MapWinGIS in a MS Access Report

MapWinGIS

Hi

I am trying to put a map in a MS Access report. The map never gets generated during printing, or print preview. I have tried the usual events, no luck.

Thanks

Hello Stu.

One option, if acceptable, is to get an image of the current map using one of the Snapshot methods (returning a MapWinGIS Image object), and either embed it directly into the report (if that’s possible) or save to disk, and include that in the report.

As an aside, I did have a project once in which I was setting the map control into a Window of another application, and I did it using the Windows API SetParent call. Not sure if that is an option for you, or if it would work in that environment…

Regards,
Jerry.

On the Snapshot method.

MS Access lets you link to an image. snapshot generates the image to a file, the image file is liked in the report
