Directions property

Article
02/25/2011

Returns the collection of sub-directions (Directions collection) for the specified route or direction, if any. Read-only.

Applies to

Objects: Direction, Route

Syntax

object.Directions

Parameters

Part	Description
object	Required. An expression that returns a Direction or Route object.

Remarks

Sub-directions (Directions collection for a Direction object) never have their own sub-directions. In other words, there can be only two layers of Directions collections: one for a Route object and one for a Direction object.

Example

  Sub UseDirectionsProperty()

  Dim objApp As New MapPoint.Application
  Dim objMap As MapPoint.Map
  Dim objRoute As MapPoint.Route

  'Set up application
  Set objMap = objApp.ActiveMap
  Set objRoute = objMap.ActiveRoute
  objApp.Visible = True
  objApp.UserControl = True

  'Add route stops and calculate the route
  objRoute.Waypoints.Add objMap.FindResults("Seattle, WA").Item(1)
  objRoute.Waypoints.Add objMap.FindResults("Redmond, WA").Item(1)
  objRoute.Calculate

  'Get the directions and output the first direction instruction
  MsgBox "The first direction is: " + _
    objRoute.Directions.Item(1).Instruction

  End Sub
