MapDisplayPosition (Function)

In french: CarteAffichePosition

Centers the map displayed in a Map control on a geographical position or on a specific location. An animation is automatically performed.

At the end of the animation, the "Whenever changing position" event of the Map control will be run. This event will not be run if the positioning on the map is canceled by the user before the end of the animation.

Example

See additional examples

// Centre la carte affichée par le champ "CARTE_Position" sur une position géographique 
MaPosition is geoPosition
MapDisplayPosition(CARTE_Position, MaPosition)

// Syntaxe équivalente (sans animation) : CARTE_Position = MaPosition

// Centre la carte affichée par le champ "CARTE_Position" sur une ville à partir de son nom
MapDisplayPosition(CARTE_Position, "Montpellier, France")

// Centre la carte affichée par le champ "CARTE_Position" sur un monument à partir de son nom 
MapDisplayPosition(CARTE_Position, "Tour Eiffel")

Syntax

MapDisplayPosition(<Map control> , <Position> [, <WLanguage procedure>])

<Map control>: Control name

Name of the Map control to be used. If this parameter corresponds to an empty string (""), the Map control to which the current event belongs will be used.

<Position>: geoPosition variable or character string

Description of the location on which the map will be centered. This description can correspond to:
the name of the geoPosition variable describing the geographical position on which the map will be centered.
to a character string containing an address, a town, the name of a monument, etc.
a variable of type Address.

<WLanguage procedure>: Optional procedure name

Name of the WLanguage procedure ("callback" procedure) called once the new geographical position is displayed. This procedure has the following format:
PROCEDURE <Procedure name> (<Change performed>)

where <Change performed> is a boolean:
True if the position was modified,
False otherwise.
This parameter is not available.

The zoom level of the map is not modified when changing position.
To center the map on a given position without animationyou can directly assign a geoPosition variable to the Value property of a Map control.
To find out the position currently displayed in the center of the Map control, use MapGetPosition.
