I've been working on a book for users of the MapWinGIS ActiveX Control. I've only completed the first few chapters, but it strikes me that already it should be useful for many new users of MapWinGIS.

Also, I'm looking for contributors for new chapters.

I've posted a PDF of the file here: [www.mapwindow.org]

If anyone is interested in suggesting and writing a chapter for the book, please contact me directly (dan [at] mapwindow.org). I'll happily add you as an author.

Hopefully by formalizing this text, we can reduce the repetition of common questions here on the forum (like how to query your data, how to deploy and application, etc.)

Thanks!

Dan

It is really a great work and truly useful for begginers! I must say it is helping me a lot. I have no experience with VB and not only helped to understand better MapWindow but VB itself!

I am not shure about is this right way, but my first MapControl in Access looked a bit different then in your book:

Private Sub Form_Load()
   LoadData
End Sub
 
Private Sub LoadData()
    Dim sfPagasti As New MapWinGIS.Shapefile
    Dim hndPagasti As Integer
    Dim FillColor As Long
    Dim LineColor As Long
    Dim LineWidth As Single
    sfPagasti.Open ("C:\maps\dati\admIedal\pagasti2004_poly.shp")
    hndPagasti = Me.MapMain.AddLayer(sfPagasti, True)
End Sub

It looks that Access VB works a bit different.

I am not good in VB, just a little codded in Access, so I am not shure about it, but probably it is worth to put some lines and this example in your book.
At the same time I just started to stumping in MapControl and there are other questions that I did not find out how it should work in Access.
