ArcObjects™ are the
building blocks of ArcGIS®, geographic information system (GIS)
software from ESRI®. With ArcObjects, you can create your own
menus, tools, workflows, applications, and custom feature classes
for use with ArcGIS. Getting to Know ArcObjects, now updated
for ArcGIS 9.1 and 9.2, is designed to teach programmers of all
skill levels, including absolute beginners, how to work with
ArcObjects using Microsoft® Visual Basic for Applications
(VBA).
Getting to Know
ArcObjects teaches the basics of
VBA programming, then progresses quickly to ArcObjects. Readers
learn what ArcObjects are, use object model diagrams to find out
what individual objects do, and program objects to execute specific
GIS tasks, including:
- Adding
layers to a map
- Defining
layer symbology
- Querying
data
- Working
with selected features
- Creating
dynamic layouts
- Editing
feature attributes
Like other books in the
Getting to Know series, Getting to Know ArcObjects uses a
proven learning method that combines focused conceptual material
with step-based exercises. Diagrams and color graphics enhance the
concepts and provide direction and reinforcement in the
exercises.
Getting to Know
ArcObjects supports the
self-learner and makes a practical lab manual for instructors in
the classroom. Those who are new to programming, or just new to
ArcObjects, will find this book to be the perfect starting place
for getting the most out of ArcGIS and the objects on which it is
built.
CD-ROM
includes:
The complete set of ArcObjects object model diagrams, spatial data
used in the exercises, all code written in the exercises (which
readers can adapt for their own projects), and results.
Required
software:
ArcGIS Desktop 9.1 or 9.2 is required to complete the exercises in
this workbook. You can use the ArcView®, ArcEditor™, or ArcInfo®
license level.
