Summary:
Change "INFO TIPS" field in MapX.
Question:
How can the field used for the Info tip be changed to a different field in MapX?
Here is a sample project using the "States.TAB". How can the code be altered so that the State Abbreviation or FIPS_Code field is used for the Info tip?
   
Answer:
To change the field used to display the Info top, set the Layer.LabelProperties.Dataset and Layer.LabelProperties.DataField to the field desired to be used for the Info tip.
'Start Code
Private Sub Form_Load()
Dim ds As Dataset
'Add the layer
Map1.Layers.RemoveAll
Map1.Layers.Add App.Path & "\mytab.tab"
'make the map look nice for the sample data
Map1.DisplayCoordSys = Map1.NumericCoordSys
Map1.Title.Visible = False
Map1.Bounds = Map1.Layers.Item("mytab").Bounds
Map1.Zoom = Map1.Zoom * 2
'Add the dataset and the label column for the tooltips
Map1.InfotipSupport = False
Set ds = Map1.Datasets.Add(miDataSetLayer, Map1.Layers.Item("mytab"))
Set Map1.Layers.Item("mytab").LabelProperties.Dataset = ds
Set Map1.Layers.Item("mytab").LabelProperties.DataField = ds.Fields.Item(3)
Map1.InfotipSupport = True
End Sub
'End code
