MapInfo Mapx
Make MapInfo development, even if you use Ole Automation methods, you need to be familiar with MapBasic. In the case where there are thousands of installed installed or to make CD-ROM maps, users also want to get at a lower price. Mapx is a programmable control based on ActiveX (OCX) technology. It uses the map data format that is consistent with MapInfo Professional and implements most MapInfo Professional features. MapX provides developers with a fast, easy-to-use, powerful map of maps. In VB, Delphi, PowerBuilder, VC, etc., you can implement data visualization, topics, etc. Analysis, geographic query, geocoding, etc. rich map information system functions. For MAPX programming, there is no need to have any mapbasic knowledge, and most tasks can be implemented simply by setting the properties of the MAPX control. Mapx defines a class system to effectively organize graphical elements, layers, attribute data, etc. The main features of Mapx include maps to map MapInfo format; zoom in, narrow, roam, select, etc., Simple geographic query: border query, address query. MAPX has powerful data binding capabilities. In VB, you can bind to Data Control, in Delphi and PowerBuilder, you can bind the data in the database with the relationship between the data in the database, so that the map object corresponds to the data item in the relational database. . After data binding, data in the data can be made into a special map, or query the data on the map, and the query of the map is implemented via the SQL statement. The launch of Mapx has expanded the application of MapInfo products. More users can get MapInfo's advanced technology through Mapx. Developers are also easier to add map functions in existing application systems.
