| Maptitude GISDK Help |
GISDK lets you create a mapping application program with your own user interface. You design the menus, toolbars, toolboxes, and dialog boxes, and you program the application to respond to user actions in any way you want. Your user interface can be added to the standard interface, typically as one or more additional menus, or can be a completely customized user interface.
You create a custom application by writing the menus, toolbars, macros, and dialog boxes you need, compiling all of these different types of resources, and installing the custom interface as an add-in. Once installed, you can create your own program icon in any Windows program group to run the custom application, or start the program in the usual way and then choose between the standard interface and your custom interface. For more information, see Installing and Running Custom Applications.
Like add-ins, custom applications can be very simple (with only a single window and a limited set of menu items) or very complex. The standard interface of Maptitude itself is an example of a very complex custom application, written entirely using GISDK. The Maptitude Help provides descriptions of how to call many of the standard interface macros for opening files, setting styles, and other tasks.
