CMapPin v1.10 An MFC class to implement Map pins

Welcome to CMapPin, an MFC classes to provide map pins useful in GIS applications. Here's a small sample of what the map pins look like when overlaid on a bitmap map:

Features

• Standard CWnd derived class which can be used just like any other MFC control classes (e.g. CStatic) which are derived from CWnd.
• Support for tooltips, drag / drop and context menus is built in.
• For further customization, you can derive a class from it
• The class is fully Unicode compliant and includes Unicode built options in the workspace file.

The enclosed zip file contains the CMapPin source code and a simple test program to exercise the class.
