Inhaltsangabe

If you're ready to take your knowledge of ArcGIS to the next level, then you need to learn how to work with ArcObjects. But with thousands of objects, properties, and methods, how can you ever hope to sort through the ArcObjects model diagrams? The first edition of Chang's Programming ArcObjects with VBA: A Task-Oriented Approach gave us the answer. The author's task-oriented approach shows you how to sort through the massive ArcObjects collection by examining only the objects, properties, and methods you need to perform specific tasks. What's new in the second edition? This edition adds macros and explanations for the new Geoprocessing object introduced in ArcGIS 9.x. Instead of treating this new feature in separate chapters, the author incorporates Geoprocessing code into the existing chapters. The code appears conveniently in boxes that allow you to easily compare sample macros. Get Started with Ready-to-Use Code The downloadable resources contain 95 complete ArcObjects macros and 33 Geoprocessing macros, along with datasets to execute the code. Each program begins with a short usage description and a list of key properties and methods, followed by the listing and explanation of the code itself. Regardless of your programming experience, Programming ArcObjects with VBA: A Task-Oriented Approach, Second Edition gives you the key to unlock the power and versatility of using ArcObjects to help you manage GIS activities.

Reseña del editor

ArcGIS users can streamline workflow, increase functionality, and improve efficiency by learning to program ArcObjects, the development platform for ArcGIS. Programming ArcObjects with VBA: A Task-Oriented Approach directly relates what you already know about ArcGIS to programming, making it easier to sort out objects, properties, and methods in code.

This volume, which adopts Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) for programming, first analyzes Geodatabase, the organization of ArcObjects, and ArcOjects help sources. It then reviews programming basics including the writing of code, calling subs and functions, Visual Basic Editor, code debugging, and user interface customization.

The book discusses the programming of ArcObjects for solving common GIS tasks such as dataset and layer management, data conversion, vector and raster data analysis, and much more. Each task-programming chapter has three parts: a quick review of ArcGIS commands; a discussion of related objects; and sample programs for problem solving.

An accompanying CD contains 95 sample programs, each of which describes its usage, contains a list of key properties and methods, and a listing and explanation of code. Many samples are divided into segments to better connect code lines with explanations. These programs, stored as text files, can be easily imported into Visual Basic Editor in either ArcMap or ArcCatalog to view and run. The CD also contains datasets that can be used to run the sample programs.
