    Tool-tips with Pushpins

    I am working on a map display which is linked to a database containing
    information on our trucks. I.E. Lat/Long, Customer, Truck number,
    Product, etc... I have a form with mappoint control and can get the
    map to display with many Mappoint pushpins at the locations of our
    trucks. What I am trying to do it set up tool-tips messages on the
    pushpins showing information from our database. However I can't
    figure out how to add a tool-tip to a pushpin. Please HELP!

    I'm working in C sharp, but suggestions in any language would be
    great!

    Thanks,
    Kyle

      There's no tooltip functionality for MapPoint pushpins AFAIK, but you could
      set the "Note" property, e.g. like so:

      MapPoint.Locati on location =
      axMappointContr ol1.ActiveMap.G etLocation(47,-122, 0);
      MapPoint.Pushpi n thePin =
      axMappointContr ol1.ActiveMap.A ddPushpin(locat ion, "My pushpin");
      thePin.Note = "This is a pushpin note";
      thePin.BalloonS tate = MapPoint.GeoBal loonState.geoDi splayBalloon;
