Hi,
We
have build a pretty extensive application in MapBasic. It serves well as a
prototype. Now we want to bring our application to the next level: bring in more
functionality (not necessarily GIS-related processing), enhance the user
interface, interface with MS Office applications,etc. So we are considering
moving to a Visual C++ environment with MapX.
I have
a few related questions:
- Can I implement in MapX ALL functionality, which is offered by MapInfo Professional (version 6.0)?
- Could I use MapX in a Java environment?
- How does MapX development compare with Integrated Mapping (control MapInfo from a C++ client program, basically by sending MapBasic statements via OLE), both from functionality perspective and a development environment perspective?
- Purely from a development environment perspective, the new ArcInfo version (with MapObjects) seems more attractive. Any comments?
If
people have gone to a similar transition: any other suggestions, caveats, tips
are very welcome.
Thanks
a lot,
Bart
