LocationToY method

Returns the Y coordinate on the screen of the desired location. Converts map coordinates to screen coordinates (in pixels), using the Top property of the Map object as 0. A result of -1 means the desired location does not appear on the screen. Read-only Long.

Applies to

Objects:  Map

Syntax

object.LocationToY(Where)

Parameters

Part	Description
object	Required. An expression that returns a Map object.
Where	Required Location object. Location for which coordinates are converted.

Example

    Sub ShowDistanceNYToLA()
    Dim objApp As New MapPoint.Application
    Dim objMap As MapPoint.Map
    Dim objLocNY As MapPoint.Location
    Dim objLocLA As MapPoint.Location
    Dim objCenter As MapPoint.Location
    Dim objTextbox As MapPoint.Shape


    'Set up application and create Location objects
    Let objApp.Visible = True
    Let objApp.UserControl = True
    Set objMap = objApp.ActiveMap
    Set objLocNY = objMap.FindResults("New York, NY").Item(1)
    Set objLocLA = objMap.FindResults("Los Angeles, CA").Item(1)


    'Find the point on the screen midway between the two
    X1% = objMap.LocationToX(objLocNY)
    Y1% = objMap.LocationToY(objLocNY)
    X2% = objMap.LocationToX(objLocLA)
    Y2% = objMap.LocationToY(objLocLA)
    x% = (X1% + X2%) / 2
    y% = (Y1% + Y2%) / 2
    Set objCenter = objMap.XYToLocation(x%, y%)


    'Show the distance
    objMap.Shapes.AddLine objLocNY, objLocLA
    Set objTextbox = objMap.Shapes.AddTextbox(objCenter, 200, 50)
    Distance# = objMap.Distance(objLocNY, objLocLA)
    Let objTextbox.Text = "Distance, New York to Los Angeles: " & Distance#
  End Sub
