In Milestone smart client, user can create a map with any still image. When I add a map and get viewgroup info via SDK, there is mapguid. However there is no Camera related info on the map. Is there API to create a map and bind it to a view?
There is unfortunately no API for creating MAPs.
In the Smart Client View and Window Tool sample you can see how to add an existing MAP to a view: http://doc.developer.milestonesys.com/html/index.html?base=samples/smartclientview_windowtool_sample.html&tree=tree_1.html
Hi Peter,
There is a further question. It’s a common question on how servers store configuration information. I would like to take map as an example. See picture attached. I added cameras etc info on a still map. Where is the configuration info( for this example, they’re item info on the map) stored? SQL server or some specific configuration file? I’m asking this question so that I can get better understanding for the SDK. We found related information were scatterred in different location sometimes which need much time to figure out the clues.
The MAP configuration is stored in the MS SQL database used by the VMS server. It is not supported to update the information in the SQL database directly.
