Abstract
Bridging the Gaps Between ArcView GIS and Visual BasicTrack: Application Development
Author(s): Jennifer C. Fredenburg, Jeffrey G. Cargin
This paper presents creative solutions for facilitating the integration of ArcView and Visual Basic for large-scale application development. The application being modeled, one created for the U.S. Forest Service, tracks terrestrial wildlife observations and attribute data related to those observations. It integrates a custom ArcView extension with a Visual Basic interface and data access capabilities. The mating of ArcView and Visual Basic on such a large scale presented several hurdles including passing information back and forth using DDE, using Visual Basic to control ArcView commands, and how to quickly and reliably access and update data.
