Terry In MapBasic you use custom tools that you define as 'calling' as named routine - you then use CommandInfo to find where they clicked and off you go. The same thing applies in integrated mapping but you define your tool as calling an OLE routine in your VB/Delphi/C++ app.

I want my users to be able to create bus stop locations. Thus they can click anywhere on the map, to create and position a bus stop, and MI reacts with, say, a dialog by which they identify the stop. Now I know you can issue a "Create Point" or "CreatePoint()", to programmatically plot, say, existing bus stops, but I can't find anywhere in the docn about system event handlers, whereby you could achieve what I outlined above. Can anyone please give me some . pointers as to how to do this.
