The Maptitude Object

 

The client accesses the Maptitude COM object, obtained by using the programmatic identifier "Maptitude.AutomationServer."

 

For example, to access the COM object in VBA, use the following syntax:

 

Dim Maptitude As Object

Set Maptitude = CreateObject("Maptitude.AutomationServer")

 

If the program is not already running, it will start in the background without any window, briefly displaying a message. If the program is already running, then that instance of the program will become the active COM object.

 

Methods

Function() calls a GISDK function.

Macro() calls a macro in a compiled GISDK UI Database.
