1. How to Use XRosyGUI for LiveMap ---------------------------------XRosyGUI for LiveMap provides a Demo VB project. To see the demo, use your Visual Basic to load the project file, LIVEMAP.VBP in the SAMPLE directory. Please first pay attention to the Tutor examples (Example 5 and Example 7 in the demo), which illustrate two simple cases for defining bitmap-based and polygon-based hotspot regions (buttons) on a map. To define buttons, you can use either your code or script. If you have questions, problems or comments on improving the product to fit your particular need, please send e-mail to: support@hexatech.com. 2. How to Define Hotspot Regions on a Map ----------------------------------------Hotspot regions on a map are actually irregularly shaped buttons. You can define either polygon-based or bitmap-based hotspot regions. To define polygon-based hotspot regions, you can use the HexaTech Hotspot Editor. To define bitmap-based hotspot regions, first use your bitmap editor to create the corresponding button bitmaps and then use the AddButton method. Please refer to the AddButton method and the "Illustration of Creating Button Bitmap Frames" section, in the XRosyGUI (RoseGUI) help file. 3. Compiling VC++ Source Code ----------------------------XRosyGUI for LiveMap also provides VC++ source code for the Demo program as well as the bitmaps. After compiling the source code, you will need to move the executable file to the SAMPLE directory where all bitmaps file are located. 4. Extracting Bitmaps From Resource Files ----------------------------------------For bitmap-based buttons, the button bitmaps for the USA maps are stored in XRosyGUI resource files (*.res). You can extract all the bitmaps from the resource files using the RoseEditor program. To extract, run the RoseEditor and select the Operation Menu and click Extract Bitmaps From Resource. Note: Bitmap file name for each state is the same. So, you may like to

create a new directory for each resource file to avoid overwriting existing files. 5. Files To Distribute ---------------------When you distribute your application which uses RoseGUI control, you only need to distribute one file: ROSE16.OCX - for 16 bit application, or ROSE32.OCX - for 32 bit application You must not distribute the license files (*.LIC). Your application does not need the license files to run. In order for RoseGUI to work correctly, you must place the OCXs files in your path or in C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM. You must also distribute the following 32-bit system DLL files if they are not already present in your user's system directory: MFC40.DLL, MSVCRT40.DLL, and OLEPRO32.DLL. 6.
