GeoMapProjection	Value	Description
geoFlatViewWhenZoomedOut	1	Miller Cylindrical projection (flat map) at high zoom levels
geoGlobeViewWhenZoomedOut	0	Orthographic projection (globe map) at high zoom levels

Applies to

Objects: Map

Syntax

object.Projection

Parameters

Part	Description
object	Required. An expression that returns a Map object.

Remarks

Setting the Projection property causes an AfterViewChange event for a Map or MappointControl object to occur, even though the map view may not appear to change.

Example

  Sub ChangeToGlobeView()

  Dim objApp As New MapPoint.Application

  'Set up the application
  objApp.Visible = True
  objApp.UserControl = True

  'Change the map projection to
  ' globe view and zoom out to see it
  objApp.ActiveMap.Projection = geoGlobeViewWhenZoomedOut
  objApp.ActiveMap.ZoomOut

  End Sub
