Can delphi work with map like arcview or arcgis ? Back to top Chris Morgan Guest Posted: Mon Jun 14, 2004 2:19 pm    Post subject: Re: Can delphi work with map ?? Quote: Can delphi work with map like arcview or arcgis ? Yes, You can use Delphi to create Arcmap extensions using ArcObjects in the same way as you would use Visual Basic. As long as you can translate all the examples from VB you should have no problems. Import the ArcObjects type library into Delphi, then go to File-New-ActiveX Library. However, there are some bugs with the Type-Library import mechanism with Delphi 6+ which means you will probably need to manually edit the automatically-generated PAS file.

Hello Marwan, Delphi can not work with ArcView, because ArcView is not a com-object and does not expose methods or anything to the outside world. If you want to go this way, you have to use ArcObjects. Delphi can work with ArcGIS, because this exposes its COM-object to the outside world and Delphi can be used to control this (see [url]http://www.esri.com/software/arcgis/arcgisengine/index.html)[/url]. This involves COM-programming. There are however quite some other mapping components available for Delphi, which might better integrate in Delphi (native VCL, so no COM). Search the internet for TGlobe, TatukGIS, ActiveMap, inovaGIS and CartoVCL to name only a few.

You can write DLL's that arcview3 calls from avenue. It is also possible to execute avenue statements from Delphi through the AVexec function in the AVEXEC32.DLL.

Hello Uffe, you are of course absolutely right here, but this provides only very limited control over AV. I do write a lot of my dialogs in delphi, and create dlls which can be called from AV. However, I never got the AVExec functionality working (never spent too much time on it either). I know there should be a way to use DDE as well, but very old, very unstable technology...
