New Post: How to make a map legend; Please guide me...

You can put anything you like on the map as a static item. For example I put a logo image on the map in the bottom right hand corner as follows.

But following code in map form paint event.

Private Sub MainMap_Paint(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.PaintEventArgs) Handles MainMap.Paint

    SysGraphics.DrawLogo(e, gMapLogoImage, New Drawing.Rectangle(MainMap.Width - 120, MainMap.Height - 70, LogoSize.Width, LogoSize.Height))

End Sub

I have a class for various function such as drawing the image, text etc however the code can just go in the paint event.

Public Class SysGraphics

    Public Shared Sub DrawLogo(ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.PaintEventArgs, image As Image, rect As Drawing.Rectangle)

        Try
            e.Graphics.DrawImage(image, rect.Width, rect.Height)

        Catch ex As Exception
        End Try

    End Sub

End Class

Cheers.
