PlugIns? (#2) - Problem using IMap.SetMapDisplay (#256) - Message List

Ryan,

There is no need to implement the IMap automation interface. This is implemented by FalconView (fvw.exe).

It sounds like you are using C#. You can do something like the following to change the map's center (assuming latitude and longitude are doubles) using SetMapDisplay:

fvw.IMap map = new fvw.MapClass();
map.SetMapDisplay(latitude, longitude, 0.0, 0, 0, 0, 3 /* LAT + LON */, 0);

I am having troubles with SetMapDisplay as well. I've tried implementing the IMap interface, but that makes me make my own implementation of the method. When I try fvw.IMap.SetMapDisplay(...), it says the method requires ints instead of longs like the ICD states.

I'm a rookie. How do I use this method properly? I don't understand the ICD entry, and I've been struggling with this for hours.

Thanks,

If you are passing in 0 for mask then nothing is being set.

The mask is a bit mask that specifies which function parameters to use. For example, if you only want to set the rotation and longitude parameters, set the mask as follows: ROTATION | LON (4 + 2). This allows you to specify a subset of parameters to SetMapDisplay.
