Getting a map from the internet and displaying it on a form

TheMSsForum.com: The Microsoft Software Forum

hi all,

I have a form that would have a person's address on it, I'd like to be able
to send the address to the web and get a map of the address to be displayed
in an image control or an ole control.

how would I go about achieving this?

Thank you

Hutch

For a "proof of concept" you could drop a webbrowser control on the form and
navigate it to the same place you'd land if you look up an address at
maps.yahoo.com (or wherever).

For a production app, you'll probably have to license the capability from
them.

Dan,

Do you have an example? I really don't know where to even start on this.

Thank you,

Hutch
