Map implementation using VB

[szms]

Hi there...

I have a south american map and I would like to implement the map in such a way using Visual Basic that when user drag the mouse on the top of Bragil, it will be highlighted and and a the population of that country will be visible.

Do you have any clue how to approch this problem?

Assuming you a digital map, and also assuming this kind of data is in that map-file (you will probably only know if have a programm that "knows" this format), you have to get a hold of the format of that map-file. To get this information, you must know the mouse-position of the Click and correlate with the map, if there is an object, you can display the data(properties) of this object.

But the main problem will be getting the format of that file.

Could you please give me a little example? Piece of code might be helpful to understand.

Without the format of your digtal map, I can't make any code.
It's like: tell me what's in this book, without knowing the language, the writing direction(left to right), whow to find the text(front of the pages or the back) and so on.

I don't understand what do you mean by digtal map. However I suppose I am talking about the following map:

Hope this might help you understand we I am looking for. By the way I am not planning for web application.
