Note

Bing Maps Web Control SDK retirement

Bing Maps Web Control SDK is deprecated and will be retired. Free (Basic) account customers can continue to use Bing Maps Web Control SDK until June 30th, 2025. Enterprise account customers can continue to use Bing Maps Web Control SDK until June 30th, 2028. To avoid service disruptions, all implementations using Bing Maps Web Control SDK will need to be updated to use Azure Maps Web SDK by the retirement date that applies to your Bing Maps for Enterprise account type. For detailed migration guidance, see Migrate from Bing Maps Web Control SDK and Migrate Bing Maps Enterprise applications to Azure Maps with GitHub Copilot.

Azure Maps is Microsoft's next-generation maps and geospatial services for developers. Azure Maps has many of the same features as Bing Maps for Enterprise, and more. To get started with Azure Maps, create a free Azure subscription and an Azure Maps account. For more information about azure Maps, see Azure Maps Documentation. For migration guidance, see Bing Maps Migration Overview.

The following infobox option properties can be used to create customized infoboxes.

Name	Type	Description
actions	InfoboxActions[]	A list of the infobox actions, where each item is a label (the link text) or icon (the URL of the image to use as the icon link) and eventHandler (name of the function handling a click of the action link). Note that this is not supported when using htmlContent, use HTML anchors instead. Note: InfoboxActions have been included in Bing Maps V8 primarily for backwards compatibility with V7. Instead it is recommended to use standard HTML buttons and links in the infobox description.
closeDelayTime	number	The number of milliseconds to wait before closing an infobox when the visible option is changed from true to false. Default: 0
description	string	The string displayed inside the infobox.
htmlContent	string	The HTML that represents the infobox. Note that some infobox options are ignored if custom HTML is set (title, description, maxHeight, maxWidth, actions, showCloseButton, showPoint). Also, if custom HTML is used to represent the infobox, the infobox is anchored at the top-left corner.
location	Location	The location on the map where the infobox’s anchor is attached.
maxHeight	number	The maximium size that the infobox height can expand to based on it’s content. Default: 126
maxWidth	number	The maximium size that the infobox width can expand to based on it’s content. Default: 256
offset	Point	The amount the infobox pointer is shifted from the location of the infobox, or if showPointer is false, then it is the amount the info box bottom left edge is shifted from the location of the infobox. If custom HTML is set, it is the amount the top-left corner of the infobox is shifted from its location. The default offset value is (0,0), which means there is no offset.
showCloseButton	boolean	A boolean indicating whether to show the close dialog button on the infobox. The default value is true. By default, the close button is displayed as an X in the top right corner of the infobox. This property is ignored if custom HTML is used to represent the infobox.
showPointer	boolean	A boolean indicating whether to display the infobox with a pointer. The default value is true. In this case the infobox is anchored at the bottom point of the pointer. If this property is set to false, the infobox is anchored at the bottom left corner. This property is ignored if custom HTML is used to represent the infobox.
title	string	The title of the infobox.
visible	boolean	A boolean indicating whether to show or hide the infobox. The default value is true. A value of false indicates that the infobox is hidden, although it is still an entity on the map.
zIndex	number	The z-index of the infobox with respect to other items on the map.
