Show Label on Plotted Shapes

Hi,

We have developed an application using Bing Maps. We have plotted multiple collections of postal code boundaries using polygons. One polygon have multiple postal code boundaries. We want to display one label on each collection of postal codes. The label should appear as a callout to indicate which boundaries it belongs to.

Untitled

Does anyone have a solution for this.

Thanks!

You should make a larger merged polygon that encompasses the set you want connected and use that merged polygon to represent the region to be labelled.

Hi,

Thanks for your response. However, we want the label to appear as a hover in the center of all the zip codes.

We want something similar to what is shown below, but the label with the box should look like a callout so that it is easy to identify which label belongs to which collection of zip codes.

Thanks!

Yes, that is the correct experience. You might consider giving the polygons different colours for either the outline or interior in order to identify them. See https://www.bing.com/api/maps/sdkrelease/mapcontrol/isdk/setpolygonoptions or you could look at using a custom infobox to modify the experience. See the index on the left of the isdk to explore other options.
