Hello Steve,
MapX is MapInfo's offering for developers which allows you to put mapping
content into applications which you write using any Windows 'COM' compliant
language such as VB, C++ etc. MapX is essentially a mapping 'control', and
you can use it just like any other control, a picture box control say, which
you can put onto your forms. The mapping control is at the root of a
complete object hierarchy with methods, properties and events to allow you
complete programatic control over the mapping content of your application.
It doesn't work in the MapInfo Pro environment like MapBasic does - you use
it to build entirely standalone applications. However it is designed to
work primarily with MapInfo data (TAB files) which are, of course, created
and maintained with MI Pro.
Hope thats of some use,
Richard Burkmar.
Swift.
