Hi All,

Very Good Morning!!

I have a very basic question. Can I use the existing plug in like "data client plugin","shape Editor Plugin" etc (which is installed in "C:\Program Files\MapWindow\Plugins") in my own custom mapwin application or are those plugins are meant to be used only in "MapWindow GIS" application?

If those plugins can be used in other custom application please let me know how to start to play with those plugin in my custom application. Is there any documentation are there regarding this?

Thank you for your time.

Niladri,

You can use the MapWindow plug-ins in your custom application.
The Data Client Plug-in is not created nor maintained by the MapWindow Community, so I can't say if you can use that plug-in as well.

We don't have documentation about this, but I think if you reference the plug-in in your own application you should be able to use it.

Hi Paul,

Thank you for your help.

I would like to let you know that using the "Template Plugins 2008" I am unable to load the plugins name in the plugins menu.

I did the following steps:

1. Downloaded the Template plugins.
2. Opened that project in VS2008
3. Add the following references in the project

"Interop.MapWinGIS"
"Mapwindow.Interfaces"
"MapwinInterfaces"
"MapWinUtility"


4. Set the build output path and debug working directory to

"C:\Program Files\MapWindow\Plugins\sampleplugins"

5.In the Iplugin interface name property changed the plugins name to "Test"

6. Build the project successfully.

7. Open Map window >Plugins. In this plugins list my dll are not populating.

Please help me. Thank you for your time.

Regards,
Niladri
