Remarks

In the user interface, if a collapsed Directions collection includes border crossings, construction warnings, or refuel warnings, these warnings also appear in the top-level Directions collection. In the object model, border crossings, and refuel warnings always appear in both the top-level and child Directions collections. Construction warnings, on the other hand, only appear in the child Directions collection.
Example
Sub ExpandOneDirection()
Dim objApp As New MapPoint.Application
Dim objMap As MapPoint.Map
Dim objRoute As MapPoint.Route
'Set up the application
Set objMap = objApp.ActiveMap
Set objRoute = objMap.ActiveRoute
objApp.Visible = True
objApp.UserControl = True
'Add route stops and calculate the route
objRoute.Waypoints.Add objMap.FindResults("Seattle, WA").Item(1)
objRoute.Waypoints.Add objMap.FindResults("Redmond, WA").Item(1)
objRoute.Calculate
'Expand the ninth direction, which is another Directions collection
objRoute.Directions.Item(9).Directions.Expanded = geoTrue
End Sub
