My GIS could do: load & unload maps, change visualization (colors, sizes and shapes), move in map, do searchs, calculate distances, zooms, and several things more :)
An activeX, called MapObjects, it is used in GIS :)Quote:

I've also spent considerable time writing GIS software, but using the MapX ActiveX control from mapinfo.com. Both are pretty good I think (and really the only choices other than the open source and rather complex GRAS), but I found MapX a little easier to use than MapObjects, and the most recent version supports just about every geo-raster format out there, in addition to the ESRI shape files (MapObjects/ArcView).
A good example of very simple freeware mapping software can be found at the www.esri.com site.
Well, in my first job I had to code a GIS, and they was using MapObjects, and for that I used it in my studies. I have never worked with MapX, but it is truth MapObjects sometines drives you crazy :)
In both cases, I only worked with ESRI, images and PNG files.
I don't any interesting programs, but my girlfriends first contract out of school was with a "Adult Toy" store called Venus Envy.
They used to have their meetings in resturants, and used to get mixed reactions from the waiters and waitresses if they had the laptop out and going through the site.
Hi Cimperiali, I learnt VB with the book "Beginning VB5" by Peter Wright from WROX. That was a awful book (imo) for me. I don't like to learn programming that way, so un-systematic.Quote:

After all these years, I have forgotten most of VB's syntax. I would like to pick it up again. However I have a question to ask you, how easy is it to write a SDI/MDI app in VB6? It seems to me that not many books which dedicate a lot of pages on this topic, or maybe I haven't looked hard enough.:)
