I have the following bing map: .php
When a shop is selected in the left-hand list the map auto centers on that pushpin, what i need to do now is invoke the click() handle of that pin (or show the relevant InfoBox).
Problem is, i'm pushing the pins into a Microsoft.Maps.EntityCollection(); called dataLayer so i cant call map.entities.get() directly - or rather - if i try calling it this way get() does not return anything.
Note the zoomMap() function at the bottom of this snippet, i have mented out the lines in question.
How can i invoke the click event?

Reset to default 4Looks like for some reason e.target is not ing in displayInfobox function.
I have but modified your code a little bit at 2, 3 places to get something close to your intended point. Please check it below:
var map = null;
var dataLayer = null;
var infoboxLayer = null;
function loadMap() {
//Prep default location
var defaultLocation = new Microsoft.Maps.Location(53.6880, -2.6646);
//Prep Map Options
var mapOptions = {
//credentials: 'KEY_REMOVED',
center: defaultLocation,
mapTypeId: Microsoft.Maps.MapTypeId.road,
zoom: 7,
enableClickableLogo: false,
enableSearchLogo: false
}
//Initialise the primary map control
map = new Microsoft.Maps.Map(document.getElementById('BobElliotMap'), mapOptions);
//Add data layer
dataLayer = new Microsoft.Maps.EntityCollection();
map.entities.push(dataLayer);
// Add infobox layer
infoboxLayer = new Microsoft.Maps.EntityCollection();
map.entities.push(infoboxLayer);
//Prep InfoBox & add to infobox layer
var infoboxOptions = {
width: 300,
height: 200,
visible: false,
offset: new Microsoft.Maps.Point(0, 20)
};
infobox = new Microsoft.Maps.Infobox(new Microsoft.Maps.Location(0, 0), infoboxOptions);
infoboxLayer.push(infobox);
//Add Data to the map
DrawPins();
setTimeout(function() {
//Initial zoom for testing zoomMap function
var pushpin = dataLayer.get(0);
var indx = dataLayer.indexOf(pushpin);
zoomMap(indx, pushpin.getLocation().latitude, pushpin.getLocation().longitude);
},500);
}
