Delphi 2010 & Mappoint 2011

[tony.huerlimann]

I installed the new trial MapPoint 2011 from Microsoft from

http://www.microsoft.com/uk/Mappoint/trial.aspx

To use Mappoint with Delphi 2010 one has to do the following (I did this already with Delphi 2006 and Delphi 2010 and MapPoint 2010--and it was great how it worked):
1) Open Delphi with a new project
2) Choose Menu "Component/Import Component..."
3) Choose "Import a Type Library" click "Next"
4) In the list choose "Microsoft Mappoint 18.0 Object Library", click "Next"
5) Check the Box "Generate Component Wrappers" The Palette Page changes to "ActiveX", Click "Next"
6) Choose "Create Unit", Click "Finish"

A new pas file has been created with the name "Mappoint_TLB.pas"

Furthermore, a new palette "ActiveX" with three Components should have been installed in the Tool Palette. However, they are not there. No new Palette called "ActiveX" was installed -- and the three Component are nowhere! Why? There is no error message from Delphi. The command is just ignored!

By the way, I already did this with the old MapPoint 2010, it worked with Delphi 6 and Delphi 2010! Why doesnt it work now?

Thanks for help

Hi Tony!

Same here! The only solution for me was to install the MapPoint-ActiveX-Control.
