How to add a MapControl to a PageLayoutControl using C# ?

[TaiBui]

Hi,

I am having a PageLayoutControl on Form that display objects: text, lines,.... Now, I want to add a MapControl to this PageLayoutControl to display a small map (dgn file).

Do you know how to do this ? and Can we set the location for that MapControl ?

Thank you very much,

Tai

Hi,

What does it means to add mapcontrol to pagelayout control? do you want to add the layers represented in mapcontrol to pagelayout?
In this case try:

//Get IObjectCopy interface
            IObjectCopy objectCopy = new ObjectCopyClass();

            //Get IUnknown interface (map to copy)
            object toCopyMap = axMapControl1.Map;

           
            //Get IUnknown interface (copied map)
            object copiedMap = objectCopy.Copy(toCopyMap);

            //Get IUnknown interface (map to overwrite)
            object toOverwriteMap = axPageLayoutControl1.ActiveView.FocusMap;

            //Overwrite the MapControl's map
            objectCopy.Overwrite(copiedMap, ref toOverwriteMap);
