Hi has anyone managed to handle the on click event of a push pin yet because i cant find any events for such a thing

You can tell something happens because (in IE at least) you can hear the normal "tick" noise just like when you click a link, when you click on a pushpin, I need to be able to handle this even so I can action the users click on the pushpin

Just in case any one else has had this problem or anyone can give me a better method than the one I have used.

To catch when my users click on a pin (and i no this is not perfect) i have combined two other events that are available to us in VE.

I first attached a function to the OnMouseOverCallback event. This simply sets a variable to equal the title (you could of course us ID) of the pin the user has put there mouse over, this then sets a timer to reset the variable back to nothing.

I then used the maps onclick event to test to see if this variable was not nothing, if its not then you can assume the user clicked when the mouse was over the pin and so call your handler.

If any one else can think of a better way please let me no as i really cant see any simple way to find out if a user has clicked on a pin or not

map.AttachEvent("onclick", GetClickedPin);

I've attempted to implement the div during the onmouseovercallback but when I render it on the map, it does not stay above my pin, instead when I pan, the div also pans. Would you mind providing a snippet of code that explains what exactly you've done

i too had that problem so i captured another couple of events to help me.

map.AttachEvent("onstartzoom", clearmouseover);

map.AttachEvent("onendcontinuouspan", clearmouseover);

map.AttachEvent("onendzoom", clearmouseover);

the clear mouse over function moves the div away from view, this should not be a problem as they cant move the map while they are over your div anyway. As soon as they stop moving the map they would have to put their mouse back over your pin to click on it again away.

I can see how these methods are useful for capturing an onclick over a pin. However what I really want is to be able to put the div over the pin when the pin is created and leave it there instead of putting the div there on the mouseover. The reason being that I have text that must be displayed next to the pin such as (click here to finish polygon).

Any idea how to permanently get the div over the pins

I went ahead and did a little bit of experimenting. I've achieved the onclick event much more easily than trying to use the mouseover callback. Also I've rendered text next to the pin permanently (though it's positioned slightly lower than the pin image).

Here is some code:

var pinpoint = new parent.VEPushpin('pin_'+drawpts.length,new VELatLong(ll.Latitude,ll.Longitude),'picts/transparentpixel.gif',null,null,'VE_Pushpin_drawpoint',null,null);
map.AddPushpin(pinpoint);
document.getElementById('pin_'+drawpts.length).innerHTML += "Finish_Polygon";
document.getElementById('pin_'+drawpts.length).onclick = function(){CompletePolygon();return false;}
