Learn how to implement ArcObjects components to customize, add new tools, or extend ArcGIS 8.1 functionality! New from OnWord Press, ArcGIS Developer's Guide for Visual Basic for Applications is a "must" for GIS professionals and students alike. This compact how-to and reference manual contains all of the examples, exercises, plus professional tips and hints that skilled ArcGIS users need to learn how to develop their own applications. No prior experience with ArcObjects is required! Each chapter of this book walks the reader step by step through the process of developing a small application, from start to finish. In this way, ArcGIS application developers are exposed to the entire code and can maintain sight of the "big picture" as they achieve new levels of expertise in using data windows, maps, layers, page layouts, and more! Ideal for the novice, initial chapters introduce and explain the VBA development environment; COM basics, interfaces and applications; plus critical ArcObjects elements. Experienced GIS developers will also benefit tremendously from the straightforward, no-nonsense presentation of information when it is used as a starting point for developing their own applications.Editorials
