LegendControl The LegendControl allows you to display a legend for a given
MapControl. The legend that is returned is a non-interactive image. The
default export format is .GIF.
The legend to display can be specified at design time using its
LegendAlias or its index in the map's legend list. This can also be set
using JavaScript on the page. JavaScript can also be used to show and
hide the legend. You can arrange for the legend to be scrollable.
Both thematic and cartographic legends are supported in the
LegendControl.
The Legend Control web sample application supports this control. It
demonstrates how to create and use a customized LegendControl
based on our current web control architecture, and how to create a
theme and display a legend by sending requests to the server using
JavaScript without needing to refresh the whole page. For more
information, see the MapXtreme Learning Resources browser on your
Program menu or from the MapInfo website under Support & Training.
Expand the Learning Resources link and click on Sample Applications.
