Part Description
object Required. An expression that returns a Map object.

Setting the Projection property causes an AfterViewChange event for a Map or MappointControl object to occur, even though the map view may not appear to change.

Example

    Sub ChangeToGlobeView()

  Dim objApp As New MapPoint.Application
  'Set up the application   objApp.Visible = True   objApp.UserControl = True
  'Change the map projection to   ' globe view and zoom out to see it   objApp.ActiveMap.Projection = geoGlobeViewWhenZoomedOut   objApp.ActiveMap.ZoomOut
  End Sub
