Hi,
How do I add a pushpin without showing the detail bubble when you hover over the pin.
Basically I want to do this
Help is really appreciated.
Thanks,

Hi
Its a bit involved but here is how you do it:
1) After you have setup the map as normal add the following to you page load function in javascript which attaches the maps onclick event to a custom method.
2) Create a method called ShapeClickHandler as follows:
function ShapeMouseOverHandler(e){
//check a shape was actually clicked on, rather than just the map itself
if (e.elementID != null){
//you can do other things here like work out
//what shapelayer the shape belongs to and act differently for differnt types of pushpin
//return true, therefore disabling the popup
return true;
}
return false;
}
thats it, if you never want the popup for anything you can simplify step 2 to:
function ShapeMouseOverHandler(e){
return true
;}
Hope that helps

Thanks for the reply brian.
But with your piece of code I won't be able to show any popup......... my intention is to disable the default popup and write a custom popup when a user hovers the mouse over the push pin............. makes sense.
Also I know you can custom fit the default popup.......... but I want to get the data on demand and show the popup.
Thanks,

Earthware was 50% there. Handle the onclick of the map and then display your popup.
....load map continued .....
this.map.AttachEvent("onmouseover", DontShowDetails); //This suppresses normal popup
this.map.AttachEvent("onclick", mapclicked); //This will let you show yours.
function DontShowDetails(e)
{
//Check if it’s mouseover a shape
if(e.elementID != null)
{
return true;
}
}
}
function mapclicked(mapeventargs) {
if (mapeventargs.elementID !=null) //This must be a shape
{
//Display custom popup
}
}
Thanks for the response.
Both of you are right there but you are telling me to overwrite the onmouseover behavior.
My problem is that "onmouseover" over a pushpin I want to show a custom bubble not the default one.

Hope that helps,
The solution only opens with Orcas. But you can see the .js files in the 1.0 area
