    Useful Widgets

    Hi all - just an ideas thread really - is ther eanything you put in your windows form apps to make life easier for your users?
    I've just put in a little function that grabs the postcode from a delivery address and parses the info to google maps in a ax internet explorer panel so they have the option of printing a map off for the driver.

    Any of you guys made similar things?

    Just out of interest really

    Steve.

    Wouldnt it be easier to pass the address in the querystring to mapquest and show the location that way? More precise
    then just the zip code.
