I'm developing a map application using Microsoft MapPoint and Visual Basic.NET

I installed MapPoint .NET Basic Services SDK (English) Version 3.5 and it works fine.

But I also want to show tooltips on pushpins placed on the map. As I experienced, there is not a tooltip property for web applications for Pushpin object.

As I read, we can get this functionality easily with the use of new BalloonState property of the Pushpin object.

But the BalloonState property can be used only with Microsoft MapPoint North America 2004 SDK

You can reference to  http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/mappoint2004/BIZOMNewMethods.asp for more information.

I have two questions, is there a download link for Microsoft MapPoint North America 2004 SDK?

Second question, does anyone has solved the problem about showing tooltips for Pushpins placed on Microsoft MapPoint maps?

Thanks...

<map name="pins"><area ...><area ...></maps>

You can define hyperlinks for parts of MapPoint image and title for tooltip like functionality.

<map name="map name">

<area shape="area shape"
 coords="area coordinates"
 href="hyperlink for a pushpin in your MapPoint Map Image" or nohref
 target="hyperlink target"
 title="tooltip">

<area shape="area shape..."

</map>
