UiMap

Inheritance Hierarchy

Description

The UiMap component is non-visual and used to access repository maps.

Working with the Component

After the component is placed on the form, execute the following operations to use it:

Set the component as a data source for any MapBox component.
In the Fore code, the Map property can be used to get parameters of the map described by the IMap interface. For the obtained map in the IMap.Topobase property specify the topobase. To do this, use the following Fore code (example):

Var
    MB: IMetabase;
    WorldMap: IMap;
Begin
    MB := MetabaseClass.Active;
    WorldMap := UiMap1.Map;
    WorldMap.Topobase := MB.ItemById("World_TBS").Bind As IMapTopobase;

After the form is started the map is displayed in the MapBox component.

All the further work consists in connecting data sources for map layers and setting up visual formatting. These operations are executed in the Fore code. For details see description of the IMap interface and linked interfaces.
