Symbol property

Returns or sets the Pushpin symbol for a Pushpin or Pushpin set; returns the symbol for a data range in a Pushpin or Multiple Symbol map. The table below shows the MapPoint standard symbols and their corresponding integers (0–335). The available range for custom symbols is 336–32,766. Read-only Integer for data ranges. Read/write Integer for Pushpins and data sets.

Note  The following table contains many graphics and may take some time to load.

Applies to

Methods:  DisplayDataMap

Objects:  DataRange, DataSet, Pushpin

Syntax

object.Symbol

Parameters

Part Description
object Required. An expression that returns a DataRange, DataSet, or Pushpin object.

Remarks

The tooltip for these standard symbols is the Name property of the Symbol object.

The Symbol property is the same as the ID property for the Symbol object.

The Symbol property is invalid—and returns an invalid value—for DataSet objects with a DataMapType property of geoDataMapTypeTerritory or a HowCreated property of geoDataSetDemographic.

Example

    Sub ChangePushpinSymbol()
    Dim objApp As New MapPoint.Application
    Dim objDataSet As MapPoint.DataSet

    Set objDataSet = objApp.OpenMap(objApp.Path & "\Samples\Clients.ptm").DataSets("Clients")     objApp.Visible = True     objApp.UserControl = True
    'Change the symbol of the current data set     objDataSet.Symbol = 224   End Sub

Example for data ranges

    Sub GetInfoAboutDataMap()
    Dim objApp As New mappoint.Application
    Dim objDataMap As mappoint.DataMap
    Dim objDataSet As mappoint.DataSet
    Dim lngSymbolID As Long

    'Set up app and objects to use     objApp.Visible = True     objApp.UserControl = True
    'Let user create a data map     Set objDataMap = objApp.ActiveMap.DataSets.ShowDataMappingWizard()     If objDataMap.Parent.DataMapType <> geoDataMapTypeMultipleSymbol _       And objDataMap.Parent.DataMapType <> geoDataMapTypePushpin Then       MsgBox "The data map must be a Symbol map " & _         "(Pushpin or Multiple Symbol)."       Exit Sub     End If
    'Get information about the data map     lngSymbolID = objDataMap.DataRanges(1).Symbol     MsgBox "First symbol used in the data map: " & _       objApp.ActiveMap.Symbols.ItemByID(lngSymbolID).Name   End Sub
