If you are licensed to use more than one map control, and have more than one map control installed on your system, this option allows you to change the current map control used in the GeoPlan Window.

The current map control is shown on the GeoPlan Properties Dialog - General Page.

The selected map control will be used for any GeoPlan Windows that are subsequently opened.

  1. Choose Options from the Tools menu. This displays the Options dialog.
  2. On the GeoPlan Tab, choose the required Map Control.

Note that an option of None may be selected to display the GeoPlan without using a map control.

Map control compatibility

Note that ArcGIS Desktop cannot be used immediately after the ArcGIS Engine map control has been used in the software (and vice versa). You will need to restart the software for the map control changes to take effect.
