Hi,
I'm adding pushpins to a map using the activeX control.
The problem i have is that i cannot fathom how mappoint determines which
pushpin will have the highest z order (be most visible to the user).
This is causing me a problem as lower level information is obscuring my
critical pushpins.

Can anyone please advise ?
Thanks,
Shaun

Pushpins are all in the same layer. The api lets you change that
relative to other things, but not between individual pushpins.

However, you might have some luck if you put the pushpins into multiple
pushpin sets - you might be able to set one of these on top of the other.

The trick for changing zOrder "layers" (talking about datasets) is through
Cut & Paste options. This is ok for 2 datasets but is a bit more complex for
more than 2.

Hope this will help,
