Querying pushpins in a drawn polygon shape

[alexramo]

Hello everybody,

Has anyone already created an add-in that will allow the user to draw any
type of free form shape and then query the number of pushpins in that shape?

Currently to find the number of pushpins in my shapes, I have to export to
excel, view the results, and then close out of that excel page.

Although it doesn't seem like a major inconveinence, I am doing that 30-40
times, and it adds up, not to mention, slows my computer down by continuously
opening another instance of excel everytime.

I've looked around the web, and even this forum, and it seems that the code
is there, but I am not a programmer, and wondering if anyone already has this
tool as an add-in for MapPoint.

Thank you in advance for your help,
-Alex
