title: Bing Maps custom NavBar textbox?
body: <p><strong>I'm interested in adding a textbox (and button) to the Default navigation bar in Bing Maps v7.</strong>  </p>
  
  <p>My intent is to add a place-name geocoder to help the user quickly zoom to a specific area on the map.  (This is a service provided by Bing Maps API, I just need help adding the box to the control.)  I can, but don't have to, use jQuery.</p>
  
  <p>The website <a href="http://pietschsoft.com/post/2010/12/18/Bing-Maps-Ajax-7-Add-Custom-Navigation-Bar-Buttons-using-jQuery.aspx" rel="nofollow">http://pietschsoft.com/post/2010/12/18/Bing-Maps-Ajax-7-Add-Custom-Navigation-Bar-Buttons-using-jQuery.aspx</a> actually has some really great sample code showing how to add a button to the bar, though I can't seem to get a textbox to work properly.  My suspicion is that Bing Maps is hijacking all of my key-presses to use for panning, etc., but I'm not positive.  </p>
  
  <p>Has anybody had any luck in doing this?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
