I installed the new trial MapPoint 2011 from Microsoft from
http://www.microsoft.com/uk/Mappoint/trial.aspx
To use Mappoint with Delphi 2010 one has to do the following (I did this already with Delphi 2006 and Delphi 2010 and MapPoint 2010--and it was great how it worked):
1) Open Delphi with a new project
2) Choose Menu "Component/Import Component..."
3) Choose "Import a Type Library" click "Next"
4) In the list choose "Microsoft Mappoint 18.0 Object Library", click "Next"
5) Check the Box "Generate Component Wrappers" The Palette Page changes to "
ActiveX", Click "Next"
6) Choose "Create
Unit", Click "Finish"
A new
pas file has been created with the name "Mappoint_TLB.pas"
Furthermore, a new palette "
ActiveX" with three Components should have been installed in the Tool Palette. However, they are not there. No new Palette called "
ActiveX" was installed -- and the three Component are nowhere! Why? There is no error message from Delphi. The command is just ignored!
By the way, I already did this with the old MapPoint 2010, it worked with Delphi 6 and Delphi 2010! Why doesnt it work now?
Thanks for help
