Changing the Current Map Control

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.

InfoAsset Manager supports the following map controls: ArcGIS Engine, ArcGIS Desktop and MapXtreme.

Map Control	Supported file formats
ArcGIS Engine	ESRI ®Shape files (.shp) CAD Layers - Points, Areas, Polygons and Polyline classes Raster images - JPG, PNG, ECW, BIL, BMP, SID Layer Files (.lyr)
ArcGIS Desktop (ArcObjects)	ESRI ® Shape files (.shp) CAD Layers - Points, Areas, Polygons and Polyline classes Coverages - Feature types and raster types Raster images - JPG, PNG, ECW, BIL, BMP, SID Personal GeoDatabases - Feature Classes, Raster Datasets, Raster Catalog Tables File GeoDatabases - Feature Classes, Raster Datasets, Raster Catalog Tables SDE GeoDatabase - Feature Classes, Raster Datasets, Raster Catalog Tables WMS Servers - Raster datasets. ArcGIS Servers - Datasets (on a LAN or through the Internet). Layer Files (.lyr)

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.
